KHENIFISS NATIONAL PARK

The Sahara is not only sand. If you visit the Khenifiss National Park, 60 kilometres north of Tarfaya, you’ll be astonished with the diversity the desert can offer you. This spectacular lake is home to thousands of birds that come here to spend the winter, including pink flamingos. Having its water coming from the sea, the lush green lake is surrounded by immense sand dunes, and ends up in a salt lake. From Tarfaya you can get transport, arrange the fishing boat trips in the lake and get the authorization to enter the park (it's free, but needed).
