The Spot in Dahab
Dahab is very special as it offers three spots in one: the “lagoon” is a protected bay with a shallow water area and 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 Centers
In Dahab we offer you two centers.
The Club Mistral Center at the Hilton Hotel is located in the lagoon of 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 over 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 starting and coming back is not always easy.
The 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. The conditions at the Meridien are not suited for beginners and we do not offer any beginner/kids lessons over there.
Also in Dahab you can use one voucher for both centers.

Kids
Dahab offers some of the most perfect conditions for children to learn and improve their windsurfing. Flat water and lighter winds in the early morning and later in the afternoon makes it easy for them to practice. The combination of great conditions, special equipment and experienced friendly instructors ensures both fun and success. The groups are very small so we can ensure safety, and a fun lesson where participants can get the feeling of this amazing sport.
