SPOT DAHAB

Known worldwide as the Mecca for windsurfing, kiters have also discovered some spots in Dahab for themselves.

We either kite in the shallow lagoon (300x500m) or for advanced kite surfers in the leeward of the windsurfers in area 2 as well as outside of the Napoleon Reef in the wave.

Dahab is perfectly suited as a combined spot for windsurfers and kiters.

Due to the free boat-shuttle service between the centres every guest can make use of all the services available at any Harry Nass station. Our kite instruction takes place at Centre 1. The enclosed kite lagoon is ideal for teaching beginners at high tide and also for independent practicing after the course. The area outside of the bay is challenging and because of the cross-offshore wind an affiliation to the station with rescue service and storage is a must-have.

For your safety, the Harry Nass stations are the only centres in Dahab to offer a radio rescue system for every kiter.

No less than two lifeboats are available if required.

Due to the unique location at the Red Sea, the wind in Dahab blows stronger and more frequently with at least 4 Bft. on some 300 days a year.

Complimentary SUP boards are available to our guests for the windless days.

The cosy and traditional village Dahab-Masbat with its restaurants and cafes featuring oriental flair is unique in Egypt. The red Sinai Mountains, illuminated with golden light in the evening, give Dahab its name. (Dahab translates to gold)

  • Kitesurfing lagoon and shallow water leeward to the windsurfers for advanced kiters
  • Professional Vdws kitesurfing school
  • Radio rescue service with 2 lifeboats
