Overview

If you are a beginner and not able to ride upwind, please don’t kite here as the beach is small and the Egyptian border is not that far away!

It is now possible to book a rescue boat, which is deployed at most working hours. You will be picked up a few km south of entry. This is a very routine and regular procedure.

Wind

The wind during the day blows around 18 knots in the summer and 14 knots in winter, with many good days of 20-25 knots.

It is your responsability to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
