The high season is between March and October.
The low season is between November and February. This is the surf season for surf lovers.
From March to October, it is usually around 25°C when there is wind and around 35°C when it falls (which is relatively rare in high season). In the evening, you should always have a small jacket.
From November to February, temperatures vary between 18°C and 25°C depending on the conditions.
Between March and October, a 3/2 combination is the right compromise. You can use a combi-shorty on the months of July-August-September.
Between November and February, a 4/3 combination is ideal to stay warm all session. For the most chilly, opt for a 5/4.
The suitcase is always a headache for you? We give you some tips to best prepare your trip:
I advise you to have the essentials in your carry-on baggage in case your checked baggage is late.
Upon arrival, a person from the hotel you have chosen will be present to pick you up at the airport.
We will open a Whatsapp group between you, Zakaria (Instructor) and Marine (Customer Manager) in order to communicate together during your stay.
The next day, we will pick you up at your hotel at the time agreed upon the day before to explain to you the progress of your stay and leave for your first kite session.
On arrival, you can exchange your euros in dirhams at the exchange agencies (1 euros = 10.5 dhs approximately). You can also withdraw dirhams from the distributor of Moroccan banks (fees to be anticipated). In the city, they only accept dirhams except some restaurants take the credit card.
The water has recently been drinkable but the taste is not very good. You can find bottled water to avoid small inconveniences.
It is essential to put your phone in airplane mode or disable your cellular data because the cost is very expensive. You can buy in small grocery stores a SIM card + internet connection at low prices. For example, the SIM card is at 20 dhs (about 2€) and 5GB of internet at 50 dhs (about 5€).
Regarding the city of Dakhla, its geo-political situation is stable. The city is very quiet and secure.
Every day, we leave at the agreed time the day before on a new spot (modifiable according to the conditions).
In general, we leave for 2 hours of classes in the morning followed by a traditional Moroccan meal. We resume the afternoon for 2H of classes (the number of hours of classes per day is completely modifiable according to your desires).
At the end of the day, we’ll take you back to your hotel.
Payment is made at the end of the stay in cash (euros or dirhams) or by credit card.
