Kitesurfing at
El GounaFAMILY APPROVED · 9/10

Kitesurfing at El Gouna is the beginner's dream made literal: a flat, waist-deep lagoon and a steady afternoon thermal, with hotels that put the launch on their own beach — the Mövenpick and its on-site kite centre, Club Paradisio with Osmosis inside, Casa Cook for adults, and the KBC school on Mangroovy Beach. You can stand up across most of the riding area, which is exactly why families and first-timers keep coming back to this lagoon.
