Dakhla, the Pearl of Southern Morocco

About Dakhla

Welcome to Dakhla, a magnificent town on Morocco's Atlantic coast, chosen as the venue for our international congress. Dakhla is nestled on a 40 km-long peninsula that forms the bay of Oued Eddahab, offering a peaceful setting between lagoon and ocean and between sea and desert. It is the capital of the Dakhla - Oued Eddahab region, in the south of the Kingdom of Morocco.

In addition to its natural beauty, Dakhla is also a booming economic center. Construction of a major seaport is underway, and highways link the city to the north of the country. In addition, a seawater desalination plant, powered by a wind energy unit, will soon be operational to provide water for irrigation purposes.
