Why you'll love kitesurfing in Egypt!

Egypt offer a great combination of historial sites and worldclass kitesurfing

The land that gave birth to the first great civilization needs a little introduction. The pyramids, the minarets, the Nile – the scope of Egypt is magnificent. Pharaonic nations, ancient Greeks, Romans, Christians and Arab dynasties have all played their part in fashioning Egypt’s architectural wealth.

But Egypt is also one of the world very best kitesurfing locations from March to November, with world class flat water lagoons, super reliable wind and the kitesurf centres stocking the latest and best kitesurf equipment.

Planet Kitesurf Holidays have almost 20 years experience arranging luxury kitesurf holidays and tours to Egypt, this is a destination we understand intimately. We work with a select few hand picked luxury properties (very hard to find in Egypt!!), as far away as possible from the package holiday tourist areas. We offer a bespoke tailor made tour service, combining the very best kitesurf locations, with an immersive cultural experience to the interior of the country. We offer a truly unique service, with unrivalled experience and knowledge.

Cairo’s chaos whirrs around a medieval core that has remained unchanged since the founding days of Islam. Out west, Egypt’s ocean of sand stretches infinitely to the Sahara, with a handful of oases feeding solitary islands of green. Hive like; medieval fortresses cower out here, interspersed with bubbling springs and ghostly rock formations. Meanwhile, the deep, crystal waters of the Red Sea lie brilliantly awash in coral, surrounded by an aquatic frenzy of underwater life.

Egypt’s climate is easy to summarize: hot and dry, with the exception of the winter months of December, January and February, which can be quite cold in the north. The best time to visit Egypt depends on where you want to go. Generally speaking, winter (December to February) is the tourist high season and summer (June to August) is the low season in all parts of the country except on the coasts, and to a lesser degree in Cairo. Hotel prices reflect this.

Soma Bay Kitesurf Holidays

Soma Bay is one of the very best kitesurf locations in Egypt due to is wind reliability and huge kitesurf lagoon. There exact kitesurf spot will depend on which side of the lagoon you are based, although all areas are accessible by a short boat ride or even within kiting distance.

The Abu Soma southern side of the lagoon offers arguably the best conditions with side to side-onshore wind and easy access to a good-sized waist high areas in the bay that is perfect for beginners. On the Soma Bay northern part of the lagoon the wind is off-shore meaning that the conditions can be a bit
gusty directly off the shore. Even though it is off shore wind here it is still very safe as the worst case is you end up on a beach the other side of the lagoon.

Both areas offer super flat conditions although the up wind bay has the added benefit of super clean wind. This spot is just amazing for beginners and intermediate looking to build confidence.

Planet Kitesurf only work with the very best kitesurf centres in Soma Bay and we have years of experience selling this resort. As part of your booking process we will take into account your kitesurfing level, general holiday requirements and budget and ensure we locate you in the correct area and hotel. That is just one of the benefits or booking with Planet Travel.
