            Make New Friends

            Our Kite Camps are a perfect opportunity to make new friends and join the kitesurfing community.

            The beauty about kite camps is that you are in a larger group of like minded people…  who have decided to have an adventure on their holiday as opposed to sitting at a resort pool.

            On select evenings we hold BBQ nights with live music at Riah, this will give you the opportunity to mix with the rest of the gang.  After your lessons each day your evenings are free to check out the manty bars and restaurants that El Gouna has to offer.

              Discover El Gouna

              When your not kiting or chilling out at Riah with your new kite crew, there is plenty of time to discover what El Gouna has to offer.

              El Gouna offers a vibrant mix of nightlife, from relaxed beach bars and acoustic music to lively rooftop lounges and nightclubs. Non-windy days give an opportunity for activities like golf, diving, snorkeling, dolphin watching and desert safaris. Foodies will love the diverse dining options, from traditional Egyptian meals to sushi, steak, and even fine dining at the new marina. There’s always something to enjoy, day or night!

                How Do I Get Around?

                Don’t worry we have taken the hassle out of getting around. Once you arrive in Hurghada Airport, the transfer bus will be waiting to bring you directly to you accommodation in El Gouna. Every morning and evening, our vintage Volkswagen shuttle bus will take you to and from the station, ensuring your always on time for your lessons.

                In the evening time when you want to explore El Gouna, the easiest way to get about is by Tuk Tuk, which is very affordable and can be caught directly outside your accommodation.

                  Finally, What Will I Learn?

                  This is our ultimate Zero to Hero package … We have one goal for the week – Get You Kiting Independently!

                  Whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced kitesurfer looking to refine your skills, our tailored lessons ensure you progress at your own pace with guidance from our professional instructors. Lessons are conducted in small groups of just two students per instructor, with each student provided their own equipment to maximize learning and enjoyment. You will learn the ‘kite theory’ in our dedicated lesson rooms, before heading out onto the water to learn in practice.

                  Wonderful chilled ambiance

                  Spent the afternoon with the kids. Wonderful chilled ambiance, attentive staff and great food. My daughter loved her mocktail as well 🙂 definitely a great place to hang out even if you’re not a kiter. Already a big fan of their pizza and Riah will definitely become our favorite hang out place in El Gouna.

                  Greatest kitesurfing spot in Elgouna.

                  Greatest kitesurfing spot in Elgouna. Highly recommend for beginner, professional riders that would like to improve their skills, shallow Long Beach and really wide that can accommodate many kiters with very safe distance in between riders. Looking forward for next ride.
