The spot in Dahab
Dahab is very special indeed, as you will find three spots here: The “lagoon” is a protected bay with shallow water or choppy waves. A top spot for intermediates and freestyle freaks, and an ideal practice spot for beginners and experts alike.

Leaving the protected lagoon, you will reach the “Speedy”: a perfect shallow water area for advanced windsurfers. The wind blows constantly and is a bit stronger than inside the lagoon. A Rest & Rescue Island offers you the possibility to take a break or call for help if necessary.

The third spot is behind the Napoleon Reef and suitable for wave freaks. The swell is up to four metres high (no breaking wave) and comes from a perfect direction, thus creating fantastic jumping conditions.

Wind and waves
The wind at the Club Mistral Hilton blows cross-offshore to offshore; at Club Mistral Meridien it blows sideshore. The wave freaks amongst you will find their favourite spot behind the Napoleon Reef.

The center
In Dahab we offer you two centers. The Club Mistral center at the Hilton Hotel is located at the lagoon in Dahab Bay. The center is one of the most comfortable and most beautiful in our Club Mistral portfolio. Made completely out of wood, it offers lots of space to relax whilst having a great view to the spot. The center is famous for its’ first-class service and the friendly team members. Owing to the wind shadow in front of the center, we offer a boat shuttle and help you into and out of the water.

The new Club Mistral center “Meridien” is situated at the newly built Le Meridien Resort (former Helnan) about 1km outside the lagoon. The new location has a constant sideshore wind and ample space - a must in Dahab! You can launch directly from the shore even with the smallest wave board and also return to the beach without any problems. Progress is guaranteed in Dahab, and the tuition program Unlimited with Unlimited Premium is superb value for money.

Kids
Dahab offers some of the most perfect conditions for children to learn and improve their windsurf. With flat water and lighter winds in the early morning and later in the afternoon the conditions are absolutely perfect. The combination of great conditions, specialised equipment and experienced friendly instructors ensures both fun and success. The groups are very small so we can ensure most importantly, their safety and a fun lesson where they can get the feeling of this amazing sport.
