Foum El Oued

Where an ancient river disappears into the Atlantic, creating a unique ecosystem of shifting dunes, Saharan mangroves and endless beaches.

Foum El Oued — "the river's mouth" in Arabic — is a place where geography becomes poetry. An ancient Saharan riverbed meets the Atlantic here, forming a delta of golden dunes, wetlands and immaculately white beaches.

It is one of the few places in the world where Saharan mangrove species survive, creating an ecosystem of rare fragility and beauty.
