National parc of Dakhla

The National Park of Dakhla encompasses coastal dunes, lagoons, and beaches along the Atlantic Ocean, creating habitats for diverse marine and terrestrial species.

The park area, added to Morocco's Tentative World Heritage List in 1998, reflects centuries of natural formation through ocean currents and wind patterns.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional methods of sustainable marine resource management, passing knowledge through generations within the park boundaries.

Visitors can reach the park through organized tours from Dakhla city, with guided experiences available for birdwatching and marine wildlife observation.

The park hosts winter colonies of wading birds and maintains a population of Mediterranean monk seals, benefiting from the nutrient-rich Canary Current system.
