Rules in force · 10Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Sand on the pavements and no lifts in most shops
  • Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
  • Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
  • North Africa ↗Plan links between North African countries by air or by ferry via Europe; the only regularly usable land borders for visitors are Tunisia–Algeria and Morocco–Mauritania via Western Sahara.
  • North Africa ↗Book Saharan nights (dunes, desert camps, oasis tours) between October and April; from May to September desert day temperatures regularly exceed 40 °C and many tours stop.
  • Western Sahara ↗In practice, entry is through Morocco and Moroccan entry rules apply; check them for your passport before booking.
  • Western Sahara ↗Stay on main roads west of the berm; the area around and east of it contains landmines and unexploded ordnance.
  • Western Sahara ↗Expect frequent police checkpoints on the coastal road; carry your passport and copies.
  • Dakhla peninsula ↗Book every transfer in advance: taxis to the camps are few and priced by distance.
  • Dakhla ↗Sand on the pavements and no lifts in most shops: large bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Dakhla ↗Stay on paved roads and marked tracks: the interior and the area near the berm contain landmines and unexploded ordnance.

When is the best time?

Late afternoon to sunset, when the wind eases and the light is low.

Checked 2026-09-29 · Voykit desk

Can I swim here?

Not without local advice; currents and cold water make it a walk, not a swim.
