Dakhla Multi-Day Fishing Expedition and Coastal Camping
Spend four days fishing remote Atlantic flats off Dakhla with guided 4x4 transfers, a fully equipped camp, and all meals provided. This expedition focuses on long days on the water, local angling techniques, and access to spots unreachable on shorter tours.
The Experience
Before You Go
Protect against sun and glare
Bring a wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare off the water during long fishing sessions.
Bring motion-sickness meds
Long boat rides and tide-driven movement can unsettle sensitive travelers—carry anti-nausea medication if you’re prone to seasickness.
Keep electronics dry
Use a dry bag for phones and cameras; salt spray and sandy camps can damage gear quickly.
Follow catch guidance
Guides will advise on local size limits and best practices—adhere to catch-and-release where requested to protect fish stocks.

Conservation Note
Operators often encourage catch-and-release for larger specimens and ask guests to minimize plastic waste and stay off fragile dune vegetation to protect bird and marine habitats.
Dakhla’s coastline has long supported small-scale fishing and maritime trade; Spanish and Sahrawi influences shaped ports and fishing techniques along the lagoon.
