Beautiful turquoises water. Big shallow area with sandy bottom. During summer the low tide is very shallow. Excellent place for beginners. Closer to the mangrooves you will find few, flat rocks. A reef protects the lagoon and can be very shallow if the water level is very low. Several areas before the reef with algues, but no problem for riding. Outside the reef are two islands, fun trip to ride there, but do not step on the island, it is military zone. Be careful with boats, do not ride close to them, since they host divers who will be in the water.

Lots of space with helpful beach boys to start and land your kite. Launch and land your kite standing in the water.

The windiest place in Egypt. Good winds throughout the year. Strongest winds in November, March and May. In the morning the wind is sideoffshore and gustier, getting less in the afternoon and steadier. Closer to shore pretty gusty, further outside smoother.

Closest airport is Marsa Alam. More airlines fly to Hurghada, which is about 5-6 hrs drive away. Few hotels in the area including a basic camp just across the street.

Few rules have to be followed: lay out your lines downwind. Starting and landing the kite always standing in the water. Walk upwind in the water, not on the beach. Downwind of the yellow buoy (further south) for instructions only. Do not kite in the mangrooves north of the center. There are few buoys marking the natural reserve.

No nightlife.
