The kite centre is located right on the beach, close to the hotels in the north of El Gouna.
The first spot is just in front of the resort. It is a long private beach with fine sand. With a width of over 800 m, this spot gives you plenty of room to start, land and set up your kite. The shallow water lagoon with a surface of several 2 kilometres is right at the edge of the beach and allows you an easy and safe start.
The second spot is located about 800 m north of the kite centre. This is where our event courses take place, but experienced kiteboarders are also welcome to train here in peace. In this shallow area, which is about 800 metres wide, the water is only knee or hip deep. In addition, there are very few rocks and reefs.

Everything was fine except for the room, which reeked of cigarettes and a little air freshener from the staff didn't help.
