What makes this experience special is not only the tour, but the connection with the place and its people. I am Medo, your local guide in Dajla, and I love to show the real beauty of my land. On this private 4x4 tour, I’ll take you beyond the usual paths to discover what few know: the White Dune, where the ocean hugs the desert; the Imlili Oasis, a natural miracle with fish in the middle of the desert; and Puerto Rico Beach, a hidden corner of turquoise waters and golden sand. Along the way I will share stories, local music and my favorite photo spots. We will also stop at the natural hot springs, famous for their healing properties, and end the day with a local meal of fresh seafood. I want you not only to see Dajla, but to feel it: the silence of the desert, the ocean breeze and the warmth of its people. Each route is lovingly made for you to live an authentic adventure and unforgettable memories

Discover the nature, history and culture of the desert around Dakhla, with focus on the truly unique Sebkha of Imlili. Come with us for a mildly intense, low-paced adventure during which we'll search for the tracks left by desert animals, look for desert birds, explore the geology and evolution of a spectacular and fragile ecosystem, learn about the ancient and recent history of the site, look for fossils and neolithic tools, and experience highlights of the local culture. Wondering why Imlili is so important? Our guide will tease you offering small clues throughout the first part of the journey, building up a climax that will eventually be resolved once at the sebkha and will be further complemented with observations on the way back. Important note: The Sebkha of Imili is a unique and fragile ecosystem to be visited with respect and care – we will not allow our guests to “feed the fish”, nor to bath or have “fish pedicure” (also as per local rules).

This is a relaxed experience, perfect for both nature lovers and families willing to discover the beautiful bay of Dakhla together with our resident Marine Biologist. The itinerary will bring you to the famed White Dune and to one of Dakhla's "secret spots", on the shore opposite to the White Dune itself. Both belong to the larger system of the bay of Dakhla, which is part of the RAMSAR international network for the protection of wetlands. Depending on tides, you will have plenty of time to gently stroll on these two long beaches searching for shells, fiddler crabs, marks left by rays, and (with a bit of luck) for one of the region's "living fossils" - come ready to walk barefoot on the sand! The area is home (or an important stop-over) for resident and migratory birds, such as Flamingos, Herons, Egrets, Spoonbills, Gulls and Terns. Desert fauna and flora are also flourishing just around these two spots, including plants of traditional importance and unbelievable parasitic flowers.
