Kitesurfing in
Egypt300+ WIND DAYS A YEAR

The Red Sea sure bet

No country makes a kitesurfing week this easy. Egypt delivers wind almost all year, water warm enough for a shorty in winter, and resorts built on the sand across El Gouna, Soma Bay, Marsa Alam and Hurghada. Standing-depth lagoons for the first sessions, a school on nearly every hotel beach, and a pool for whoever is not riding: the safest wind bet within five hours of Europe.
