DAHAB
With some of the most consistent winds and best sailing conditions in the world, windsurfers and kitesurfers are guaranteed the most incredible time in Dahab.
Only one hour from the international airport of Sharm el Sheikh, itself only a few hours short haul from London.
Offering year round warm water, pristine beaches and a spectacular 300 days a year of force 4-7 wind, Dahab is justified in its claim to being one of the world's best windsurfing spots.
Kitesurfing
For the kitesurfers among you, there is a dedicated kitesurfing bay adjoining the lagoon; it's a shallow water safety net, free of other water users, for those handling the kite for the first time or for intermediates concentrating on sailing ability and basic jumps.
The vast open sea then offers plenty of space for downwind adventures, confident boosting flat-water areas for complicated freestyle or air-time and rolling swell for those who want a taste of big waves.
What with the perfect wind conditions, warm water and variety of sailing areas, right on your doorstep, you can see why Dahab is considered one of the prime kitesurfing locations in the world.
COACHING
The Harry Nass centre is one of the oldest and most well established centres in the Dahab area. With two separate centres, one situated on the main bay, one closer to the speed strip, both linked by a quick complimentary boat trip, Harry Nass can guarantee the ideal location for access to the water.
Staffed by very experienced and friendly qualified instructors, and offering a rigging and launching service, you can really make the most of your time spent here.
Harry Nass is also the only centre in Dahab to offer high quality Kitesurfing tuition and equipment hire, with direct access to the kitesurfing lagoon, meaning that you'll often have the place to yourself. Stocking a full and up to date range of Cabrina kites and boards, you'll never be left wanting.

TOWN
Dahab in Arabic means ‘gold', a reference to the beautiful beaches of the South Sinai, where Dahab is located.
Originally a small Bedouin village, before being discovered by the backpacking community and subsequently adrenaline hunting windsurfers, it still retains much of its original charm.
Nowadays in the center of the little Bedouin village Assalah, which is only a few minutes taxi ride from the hotels by the lagoon, there's a great array of cozy bars, typical Shisha eating places, little restaurants and lots of shops all situated along the seafront.
This is a great place to practice your bartering whilst exploring the traditional Egyptian markets, and in the evening there are relaxed Shisha bars and some upbeat western style establishments serving some Egyptian beer and more familiar food.
