Africa is a continent of huge cultural contrasts and no area more so than North Africa. With the nearest country just a few hours flight away each amazingly different country has a rich history and culture. From the genuine friendliness of the local people and thriving souks of Essaouria, to the lush valleys and vast Sahara of Djerba, each destination has conditions to suit every level and whether you are a keen windsurfer, kitesurfer or surfer. The temperature rarely drops below 18 degrees during winter and up to 27 degrees in the hight of summer.

It is easy to find the full range of water conditions in Essaouira with flat water inside the huge bay and wind chop to full on waves for the more experienced, all of these conditions can be found on the same day. Djerba offers beginner and intermediate sailors the chance to improve their skills in windsurfing or kitesurfing on a huge 2km stretch of beach, although there are also other spots around the island for you to enjoy.
