El Argoub (Turtle Bay)
A rural commune (population ~5,300) across the bay from Dakhla town, part of the Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region under Moroccan administration. Away from the busy PK25 cluster, it offers varied lagoon conditions and is used by at least one dedicated kite-travel operator; local kite lore credits former champion Rachid Roussafi with discovering the spot.
