Most Egyptian athlete riders typically reside in Cairo or Alexandria, creating limited access and difficulty in transportation preventing them from reaching their favorite spots. This means that in order to plan a fruitful trip one has to select the timing of the trip along with convenient wind conditions which could get quite irritating.
Kitesurfing has been thriving in Dahab thanks to its famously smooth waves, stable winds, and beautiful mountain scenery, it simply offers kiters many different spots with an authentic riding experience. Along with wind howling 266 days a year, Dahab also has various spots that offer varying wind conditions for kiters of different levels.
