Khenifiss National Park, National park and wetland sanctuary in Tarfaya Province, Morocco
The Khenifiss National Park spreads across 1,850 square kilometers, featuring desert plateaus, coastal dunes, and the largest lagoon on the Moroccan coast.
The area transformed from a natural reserve in 1960 to a Permanent Biological Reserve in 1983, gaining national park status in 2006.
Local communities maintain traditional salt harvesting practices within the park's boundaries, collecting salt from natural pans near the lagoon area.
National Route 1 provides direct access to the park, with accommodations available in the nearby towns of Akhfenir and Tarfaya.
The park's lagoon supports 20,000 winter birds from 211 species, including Marbled teal, Ruddy shelduck, and pink flamingos.
