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 the 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.

Planet Kitesurf Holidays specialise in 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 Nile Cruise perhaps), together with one of the other Egypt kitesurf resorts we offer.

El Gouna is extremely popular with kitesurfers, especially beginners and improvers, from June to October. Outside of these months it is better to head further south for better wind in our experience. It is also worth noting that many of the kitesurf lagoons 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 end of the resort where the huge open beach stretches out for some kms. Planet Kitesurf have visited all the kitesurf school in El Gouna and hand-picked only the very best for our clients, ensuring the best equipment, at the least crowded locations.
