Overview

Edit

Kite with the view to Burj al Arab! Temperatures during summer regularly over 40 ºC and sun can be very strong. Don't kite out of the designated area.

Wind

Light to moderate, usually 10-20 knts wind. The wind is mostly thermal, afternoon (from mid-day) is the best time to kite.

Dangers

Fishing nets, swimmers, jetski. Beach can be sometimes very crowded.

It is your responsibility 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!

Wind

Heads up: this is a partly thermal spot: on sunny days a thermal adds to the wind, so it's usually stronger than the averages below show. The windy days include part of our modelled thermal days, as some of them turn a light day into a windy one or even bring sufficient wind. The average wind speeds don't include the thermal.
