Hurghada15 MIN FROM THE AIRPORT

Hurghada is not one spot but a string of kite beaches: the shallow Long Beach lagoon and the Jaz Aquamarine kite beach in the south, the Magawish sandbars where the Mercure hosts Harry Nass and the Rixos and Grand Seas share Colona Watersports, and the northern flats of Al Ahyaa and Seahorse Bay with Kite Marine and the ibi & friends kiteclub. Every listing sleeps you on its launch — the airport is never more than ~20 minutes away.

The Kitesurf Camp verdict Fifteen minutes after landing you can be looking at the lagoon. Shallow water, a sandy bottom, and two schools that walk out of the hotel garden onto the launch. The easiest logistics of any Egyptian spot — land, check in, ride.
