Antigua
Egypt kitesurfing holidays, with the Egypt experts.
The land that gave birth to the first great civilization needs a little introduction.
Why you'll love kitesurfing in Egypt!
Planet Kitesurf Holidays have almost 20 years experience arranging luxury kitesurf holidays and tours to Egypt, this is a destination we understand intimately. We work with a select few hand picked luxury properties (very hard to find in Egypt!!), as far away as possible from the package holiday tourist areas. We offer a bespoke tailor made tour service, combining the very best kitesurf locations, with an immersive cultural experience to the interior of the country. We offer a truly unique service, with unrivalled experience and knowledge.
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.

Fantastic experience using plant travel for our kitesurfing holiday to the Movenpick in Egypt. Matt was very knowledgeable in helping us plan a holiday that suited our needs. Thanks to Melissa everything was arranged for us and we were refugularly updated about any changes to the flights, hotel, transfers and kiteboarding sessions. The kitesurfing was great and we would definitely recommend using the company again.
We have used Matt Mockford at Planet Travel to book two holidays to Egypt. Both times, his responses have been super quick, the information has been full and reliable, and his knowledge of the best kitesurfing spots is second to none. On top of all that, the quotes he is able to obtain always seem to be the best - even comparing with bucket shops or airlines/hotels directly.

We lose sleep so you don’t.
We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.
Your money goes into trust
Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.
We book it all, and then check it
Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.
We call you before you go
Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.
We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away
Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.

What are the best beginner Kitesurf spots in Egypt +
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.
