Dakhla’s Rise: Morocco’s Hidden Gem Transforms Sahara Tourism

The program Aquí la Tierra, broadcast on Friday, October 17 on the Spanish public channel, highlighted the city of Dakhla as a flagship destination in the field of water sports. "Spanish television presented Dakhla as part of Morocco, without distinction or reservation, emphasizing the effective sovereignty exercised by Rabat over this region for nearly half a century," confirm observers, recalling that "Dakhla, now a major international tourist and sports hub, symbolizes the profound and peaceful transformation of the Moroccan south since its return to the motherland."

"The world’s best kitesurfers face the majestic Moroccan coast in Dakhla, during the GKA Kite-Surf World Cup," said presenter Jacob Pétrus. In the broadcast images, we see the beaches of Dakhla and its modern infrastructure, "labeled as belonging to Morocco," which, according to observers, reflects an explicit recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara. According to them, "the facts on the ground speak for themselves: Dakhla and Laâyoune are Moroccan, administered, secured and developed by Morocco."
