Egypt’s climate is easy to summarize: hot and dry, with the exception of the winter months of December, January and February, which can be quite cold in the north. The best time to visit Egypt depends on where you want to go. Generally speaking, winter (December to February) is the tourist high season and summer (June to August) is the low season in all parts of the country except on the coasts, and to a lesser degree in Cairo. Hotel prices reflect this.

Soma Bay is one of the very best kitesurf locations in Egypt due to is wind reliability and huge kitesurf lagoon. There exact kitesurf spot will depend on which side of the lagoon you are based, although all areas are accessible by a short boat ride or even within kiting distance.
The Abu Soma southern side of the lagoon offers arguably the best conditions with side to side-onshore wind and easy access to a good-sized waist high areas in the bay that is perfect for beginners. On the Soma Bay northern part of the lagoon the wind is off-shore meaning that the conditions can be a bit
gusty directly off the shore. Even though it is off shore wind here it is still very safe as the worst case is you end up on a beach the other side of the lagoon.
Both areas offer super flat conditions although the up wind bay has the added benefit of super clean wind. This spot is just amazing for beginners and intermediate looking to build confidence.
Planet Kitesurf only work with the very best kitesurf centres in Soma Bay and we have years of experience selling this resort. As part of your booking process we will take into account your kitesurfing level, general holiday requirements and budget and ensure we locate you in the correct area and hotel. That is just one of the benefits or booking with Planet Travel.

FAQ
Soma Bay and El Gouna are widely regarded as the two best places to learn kitesurfing in Egypt, offering reliable wind, warm water and excellent teaching conditions throughout the season.
At Planet Kitesurf Holidays, Soma Bay is our top recommendation for most beginners and intermediate riders. Unlike many Red Sea destinations, its riding areas are less affected by low tide, providing longer and more consistent time on the water. Combined with expansive flat-water lagoons, professional kite centres and steady thermal winds, Soma Bay offers one of the easiest and safest learning environments in Egypt. It is also home to some of the highest quality beachfront resorts on the western Red Sea coast, making it the perfect destination for travellers looking to combine luxury accommodation with world-class kitesurfing.
El Gouna is an equally impressive alternative and one of Egypt's most established kitesurfing destinations. Its vast shallow lagoons, dependable wind conditions and excellent range of kite schools make it ideal for beginners and riders looking to progress. Beyond the water, El Gouna offers a vibrant marina, excellent restaurants, lively nightlife and a wide choice of accommodation, creating a relaxed resort atmosphere that appeals to couples, families and groups alike.
