Safaga, Egypt » kitesurf info - at a glance

Safaga is the ultimate all-round spot and suitable for every kite surfer, 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 area, the first part of which is protected by a spit. 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 kite surf board. Course participants who have successfully completed their first few water launches can head for the stretch of beach upwind of Kite Bay + kitesurf at low tide (Kite Bay II). Here they will find another kilometre-long kitesurf beach, perfectly suited for upwind sailing. The spot is excellently suited to all kitesurfers, due to its outstanding wind potential.

As an additional kitesurf activity we offer on demande (min. 10 people) a kite-boat-trip to Kiriazi Bay (Soma Bay).
