Our Kitesurfing Red Sea Spot & Shallow Lagoon in Hurghada
Sultan Kite School sits on the shore of a beautiful lagoon between Hurghada and El Gouna – one of the best places for Red Sea kitesurfing. The Go-Bus between Hurghada and El Gouna can drop you close to Palma Resort, where we are based. You can also take a taxi, or use the hotel car park if you are driving. The AMC Royal and Hawaii hotels are both close to our kite station.
Kitesurfing Red Sea & Hurghada Lagoon: Water Depth & Wind
Our spot is on a long lagoon north of Hurghada, beside the AMC Royal Hotel & Spa. It offers fresh, almost constant onshore wind, flat water at mid tide, a long and quiet beach, and a high standard of service with up-to-date equipment – an ideal combination for kitesurfing in Egypt.
We can honestly say our lagoon is one of the best places to kitesurf in Hurghada, whatever your level:
- Waist-deep water and a sandy bottom make learning and practising tricks easy.
- No chop, so you can focus on improving your technique.
- Smooth water helps you build confidence and experience.
- Steady wind suits beginners and professionals alike.
- Patches of deeper water and natural ramps are great for big jumps.
- A long jetty is perfect for photos and videos.
- And the hotel guests nearby are always happy to watch your best moves!
Live Wind in Hurghada
Live wind data from the AMC Royal weather station close to our kite spot, updated every 10 minutes. Check the wind speed, gusts and direction now, see the last three hours and look back at previous days before you head to the beach.
The chart shows the average wind, gusts and lows in knots, with red arrows for the wind direction. The history table lists the average wind between 08:00 and 18:00 Hurghada time for every day, so you can see at a glance which days were best for kitesurfing.
At our lagoon the wind blows mainly from the north, cross-onshore, and sometimes from the east; in May and November it can turn south-south-east. As a rough guide, 12–20 knots is ideal for learning and freeride, while 20 knots and above suits confident riders on smaller kites. New to forecasts?

Chill-out Zone at the Kite Spot
We have loungers for sun lovers and beanbags in the shade for when you need a break – and on a sunny Red Sea day, you will. Soft drinks, tea and coffee are available at the station, and if you get hungry (kitesurfing is hungry work!) you can order lunch without leaving the beach.
