Beautiful again and again

Whereas the Temples of Luxor and the Pyramids of Giza are highlights for travellers interested in Egyptian culture, Safaga is regarded as a dream spot for windsurfers and kiters.

Located about 50 kilometres south of Hurghada, this site offers not only numerous diving bases but is arguably one of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing spots. Spacious sandy beaches extend around the deep sea port of Safaga, and one of our largest and best equipped centres is located right on one of the most beautiful and widest of all beaches. 

The contrast between the azure and turquoise colours of the ocean and the barren desert landscape makes this area an impressive holiday setting and will turn your vacation into a wind-filled desert experience.

About 3.5 km away, Tobias Island awaits your visit – a small sandy cay surrounded by turquoise water. Joining one of our famous surfing outings to this destination alone makes a vacation in Safaga worthwhile.

Kitesurfing in Safaga, Egypt

Safaga is the ultimate all-round kitesurf spot and suitable for everyone, from beginners to absolute experts.
The turquoise waters of Kite Bay commence upwind of the bathing zone; here kitesurfers will find a 350m x 150m waist-deep kitesurf area, the first part of which is protected by a spit. In the morning the wind is side off shore from the left and turns in the afternoon to side shore.

At high tide, Kite Bay is ideally suited to body-drag and water-start instruction and of course for one's first few metres on the kitesurf board. kitesurfers who have successfully completed their first few water launches can head for the stretch of beach upwind of Kite Bay at low tide (Kite Bay II). There you will find a very long beach which is just perfect for going upwind.

The spot is excellently suited to advanced kitesurfers, due to its outstanding wind potential. In addition, a kite trip by boat, with a separate lifeboat, to Kiriazi Bay (Soma Bay) is also available (by request). This excursion is a magnificent highlight, rounding off our tuition. To round off this excursion, a 5 kilometre long downwind trip with the kite back to the Shams Hotel is possible
