Investing in Port Lamhiriz & Bir Gandouz: The RN1 Trade Corridor Gateway to West Africa

Founder & Principal Broker

While Dakhla’s peninsula captures headlines for luxury kitesurfing and the Atlantic Mega-Port, a quieter commercial boom is unfolding 300 km south along the RN1 Highway corridor at Port Lamhiriz and Bir Gandouz. Situated directly on the vital trade artery connecting Morocco to Mauritania, Senegal, and the wider ECOWAS region, this zone has become the primary logistics springboard for cross-border African commerce.
