Billionaire Richard Branson Explores Investment Opportunities in Morocco’s Dakhla

Richard Branson, British entrepreneur and founder of the Virgin Group, recently made a visit to Dakhla to assess investment opportunities, particularly in the hotel and kitesurfing industries, reports the regional news portal Dakhla Spot Online.

The billionaire arrived in Morocco aboard his private jet. He performed a downwind kitesurfing session to the White Dune for 1.5 hours, the same source specifies. He went to Marrakech before heading to Dakhla. Accompanied by his friends, he explored various sites in the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region. "I am captivated by Dakhla and its region and I will return to kitesurf and certainly invest," rejoices the Virgin Group boss.

Richard Branson is the first billionaire in history to have traveled to space aboard his VSS Unity spacecraft from Virgin Galactic. He owns the Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, where he practices kitesurfing, his favorite sport.

In Morocco, he already owns the Kasbah of Tamadot near the village of Asni.
