Kite Safari Egypt Red Sea: 7 Days of Pure Wind
The Egypt Red Sea is one of the world's premier kite destinations — reliable north wind blowing 20–30 knots, flat water lagoons sheltered behind barrier reefs, and warm water that stays above 22°C all year. A live-aboard kite safari is the ultimate way to experience it: wake up at a new spot every morning, ride five different locations in seven days, and return home with more riding hours than most people accumulate in a season.
Why the Egypt Red Sea?
Egypt offers a unique combination: thermal wind driven by desert heat pressure against Mediterranean air means the wind turns on like a switch — typically 11am to sunset, 25+ knots, six days out of seven during peak season. The water is flat inside every lagoon because reefs block the ocean swell. This combination — powerful consistent wind plus flat water — is why kitesurfers travel from Europe, Russia and Australia to ride here. No other accessible destination matches it for reliability or quality.
Luxury-Class Yachts
We sail on luxury-class yachts equipped for kite safaris, with a crew of captain, chef, kite guide and deckhand. Each rider has a private or shared cabin with ensuite bathroom, air conditioning, and charging points. The main deck has a shaded lounge and dining area, and a rear platform gives easy access to the water for rigging and launching. The chef prepares three meals per day plus snacks — Egyptian, Mediterranean and international cuisine sourced fresh at each port.

Who Is This Trip For?
The kite safari is designed for intermediate and advanced riders. You should be able to water start independently, ride both directions and perform basic self-rescue. IKO Level 3 or equivalent. Total beginners are not suited to live-aboard format — the focus is on maximising riding time at world-class spots, not on instruction. If you are still learning, complete your course at Koh Phangan first, then join us in Egypt.
