Oued Ed-Dahab (Arabic: إقليم وادي الذهب) is a province in the Moroccan economic region of Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab, in the disputed territory of Western Sahara. Its population at the 2004 Census was 65,378. [ 1 ]
Like most areas in Western Sahara, Dakhla and vicinity areas are very poor in vegetation and are mostly covered by the Sahara Desert. Unlike on land however, sea waters are or had been very rich in sea life due to the highly productive Current System of Canary flowing offshore and the renown Nouadhibou upwelling which is located nearby as well.
The area is roughly 184,000 km 2 (71,000 sq mi), making it approximately two thirds of the entire Western Sahara. [3] The former provincial capital founded by the Spanish was Villa Cisneros, which was renamed under Mauritanian administration in 1976 " ad-Dakhla ".
