COURSE ORGANISATION AND SAFETY
As well as lessons with an instructor, it is obvious that you need to practice again and again in order to learn and progress in kitesurfing. While ensuring your safety on the beach as well as on the water, we organise our lessons in such a way as to maximise your practice time. At Dahab Boarder Center, there are no lessons with 4 or more people sharing a kite. Whenever conditions allow, the instructors make sure you have your own kite to practice and train with in a safe and secure environment.
FLEXBILITY
We know that it can be difficult to know what level of kitesurfing course to choose from your home, but there is no need to worry! Whatever package you choose, if your instructor feels that another package would be more suitable, you will be able to change once you are there. You will never have to take part in a course that does not meet your expectations or your level. After each session your instructor will give you a detailed report, as well as advice on how to progress – whatever course you originally booked. Your success and progress is all that matters to us!

A word about
DAHAB BOARDER CENTER
Dahab is an ideal sandy kite spot featuring shallow areas and larger, deeper windsurfing lagoons that offer flat, clear water conditions. This amazing location is also perfect for practicing wingfoiling. Protected from the open sea by a long, narrow sandbank, Dahab is suited for every level from beginners to advanced.
The wind is predominantly offshore, and coral reefs are clearly marked and safely distanced from riders. Beyond the reefs, there’s an accessible wave zone for those looking for a more thrilling experience. Located within a secure hotel zone, this kite spot is just half a kilometer from a safe and picturesque town, making it a perfect destination for water sports enthusiasts.
BEST PERIODS
June and September for the best wind.
July and August bring strong morning winds, warm water, hot dry air, and mango season.
Early May, Christmas, and New Year are perfect for a festive atmosphere with new friends and good wind.
WIND
North-east offshore wind most of the year, with occasional south onshore wind in winter. Typically 20 knots, stronger in the morning, lighter in the afternoon. In summer, winds can reach 24-32 knots all day, every day
WAVES
Waves are behind the reefs with no shore break, accessible independently but only for advanced riders
HOW TO GET TO DAHAB ?
