Kitesurfing holidays - Safaga & Soma bay

Whereas the temples of Luxor and the pyramids of Giza are highlights for travellers interested in Egyptian culture, Safaga and Soma Bay are regarded as dream spots for windsurfers and kiters and arguably one of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing spots in Egypt.

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..

Safaga
	Safaga is built around a wide bay, with long sandy beaches and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It is less than an hour south of its larger and busier cousin, Hurghada. Nightlife here is much less frenetic, so this is a great choice for a chilled out and relaxing holiday.
Diving Highlights
	The Spot at Safaga / Abu Soma Safaga is perfectly suitable for all skill levels. In Safaga you will definitely enjoy kitesurfing, no matter whether you are beginner, intermediate or expert. Tuition takes place in a shallow water area in ideal conditions for practicing water starts. The beginner lagoon is perfect for all novices, as the water is very flat and the wind considerably less strong than anywhere else at the spot. Wind and Waves The wind blows side-offshore from the left in the morning and then turns to sideshore around 11am. The wind conditions in the morning favour an excursion to Toubia Island, a sandy island surrounded by turquoise water only 3.8 kilometers away – don't miss it! In the afternoon the steady wind normally blows sideshore. This wind direction dominates from 11am. until the afternoon. The stronger the wind blows, the longer it stays in the afternoon. The kitesurfing spot is about 300 metres downwind. The areas for windsurfing and kitesurfing tuition are separate from each other. Soma Bay is one of the best spots in the World for kitesurfing. The spectacular bay offers fantastic flat water conditions and pristine sandy beaches, coupled with perfect side shore winds that range from 4 to 8 bft all year round.
