Moroccans Avoid the North for Dakhla for Their Holidays

Dakhla has managed to establish itself as a must-see tourist destination in recent years. Despite the long distance that separates it from major cities, many Moroccan and foreign tourists increasingly prefer this city located in the far south of Morocco to the northern regions, and this, for various reasons.

“The city is established as a tourist destination throughout the year and especially during the summer, while we, the professionals, have no problem marketing our tourist offers, given the demand they generate,” explains Hespress a provider of tourist offers in Dakhla. The existence of air links has a lot to do with it. “The existence of direct air links has pushed the inhabitants of northern Morocco and large cities to choose to spend a few days in the city located in the far south of the kingdom, although the current prices remain unsuitable, because we propose that the round-trip transport is around 1500 dirhams,” he added. He cites another tourist asset of Dakhla: the inclusion of offers for accommodation and transport. This “also contributes to the notoriety of Dakhla as a tourist site that is booming throughout the year, so much so that we surpass Merzouga, thanks to the additional marine element that we have,” he adds, assuring that the offers are within everyone’s reach. “The bourgeois class” is therefore not “the only one to benefit from this tourist site.”
