Kite Tribe El Gouna (El Gouna, Egypt) ★★★

The wind flows direction North-North West. The water in the lagoon is really warm in the summer, but can get cold in the winter. Temperatures in Egypt can reach high 30s in the summer, and pleasant low 20s in the winter. The wind is more consistent in the warmer months and tends to be less stable from December through to February.

We teach pur guests in conditions between 12 - 26 knots (22 - 48kph). This is to ensure we have fun and safe kitesurfing lessons. Our instructors are highly qualified and always make decisions based on the safety of their students.

Many restaurants around El Gouna display a range of cuisines that cater to any taste preference. The nightlife in the Marina and Downtown guarantee fun nights out. If you’re looking for a fun, active and social holiday, to improve your kitesurfing skills and make new friends, get in touch with us and book the next event or private training. Become a true kitesurfer!

There are plenty of beautiful spots along the coast to explore and taking a boat for kitesurfing trips along the islands and reefs is always a good day out. El Gounda is close to Luxor, one of the most famous cities in Egypt for visitors wanting to explore Ancient Egyptian history. Full of temples and pharaohs tombs, Luxor is along the river Nile. Day trips are possible from El Gouna to Luxor (3 hours drive) and you are guaranteed an action packed day full of awe-inspiring ancient history...The perfect way to spend a no-wind day!

GETTING AROUND IS MADE EASY with plenty of affordable public transport, including toktoks, mini vans, shuttle buses and taxis. Travelers can also rent motorbikes, quad bikes, cars and scooters for the duration of their stay. El Gouna also has some new e-bikes stationed around town. Toktoks are by far the easiest way to get around. They have stations in the marina and downtown and are often ready and waiting near hotels, restaurants and busy commercial areas. Toktoks can take up to 3 people. Prices are listed in the toktok above the driver’s seat.
Taxis (Budget Taxi Company) need to be ordered in advance. Their offices are found in the downtown area, next to the supermarket.
For larger groups, minibuses can be found in El Gouna, taking routes from the kite beaches towards town and back. They can also be called and ordered privately.
