EGYPT KITESURFING HOLIDAYS

Spread across islands that are interlinked by lagoons, along 10 km of beachfront, dotted with hotels. There is a nice marina area, making a home for some very luxury vessels, with a hand full of cafes and restaurants overlooking the water. El Gouna is a great location for families, or single traveller, as town boasts excellent services, a superb infrastructure, year round sunshine and stunning beaches. The nearby Hurghada International Airport has a wide number of flights to Europe in both directions.

El Gouna is extremely popular with kitesurfers, especially beginners and improvers, from June to October. Outside of these month it is better to head further south for better wind in our experience. It is also worth noting that many of the kitesurf lagoon in El Gouna are tidal, meaning that at low tides it is only possible to kitesurf further our in deeper water which is not good for beginners. Again, the resorts further South (such as Soma Bay or Hurghada), do not have this tidal issue. 

There is a huge number of very impressive kitesurf schools in El Gouna, especially at the Northern eld of the resort where the huge open beach stretches out for some km's. Planet Kitesurf and visited all the kitesurf school in El Gouna and hand picked only the vert best for our clients, ensuring the best equipment, at the least crowded locations. 

Planet Kitesurf Holidays specialise is luxury tailor made tours in Egypt, so please call and ask an Egypt kitesurf holiday expert about combining g a kitesurf stay in El Gouna with the historical town of Luxor on The Nile (or a Nie Cruise perhaps), together with one of the other Egypt kitesurf resorts we offer. 

Whereas the temples of Luxor and the pyramids of Giza are highlights for travellers interested in Egyptian culture, Safaga is regarded as a dream spot for windsurfers and kiters.

Located about 50 kilometres south of Hurghada, this site offers not only numerous diving bases but is arguably one of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing spots in Egypt. Spacious sandy beaches extend around the deep sea port of Safaga, and one of our largest and best equipped Club Mistral centres is located right on one of the most beautiful and widest beaches of them all!

The contrast between the azure and turquoise colours of the ocean and the barren desert landscape makes this area an impressive holiday setting and will turn your vacation into a wind-filled desert experience.

About 3.5 km away, Tobia Island awaits your visit – a small sandy cay surrounded by turquoise water. Joining one of our famous surfing outings to this destination alone makes a vacation in Safaga worthwhile.
