It is Dakhla’s postcard view. Here is how to make the most of it.

Dakhla’s White Dune: when and how to go

The tide decides

Parts of the lagoon uncover at low tide and navigation changes with the water level. Operators set departures by the tide, which is why times vary from day to day.

Boat or 4x4?

The boat is most common and makes a lovely lagoon ride. Some options combine a 4x4 drive with a short crossing.

Combine it

The White Dune pairs well with an oyster tasting at a farm or a stop near Dragon Island.
