About this spot
Dakhla Speed Spot is world-renowned for its dead-flat water, making it a top choice for speed kiting and freestyle. Located on the eastern side of the Dakhla Peninsula, it works best during strong Northerly winds. The spot features ultra-flat water along the beach and shallow edges. Access is typically organized through local camps or guides. While there are limited facilities directly at the water's edge, it is a must-visit for intermediate to advanced riders. Be aware of the strong offshore wind direction and tidal levels which dictate the available riding space.
