With year-round sunshine, warm Red Sea waters and reliably strong winds, Harry Nass has become a benchmark for kitesurfing excellence in Egypt. Backed by more than 25 years of experience and a world-class center in Dahab, it’s a destination that delivers top-tier instruction, premium equipment and unforgettable sessions for riders of every level.

THE LOWDOWN

Harry Nass stands for excellence, with over 25 years of experience in running top-notch centers. They operate year-round in Dahab, just a four-to-five-hour flight from Europe, offering consistently warm temperatures and reliable winds for water sports throughout the year.

Kitesurfers should come to Harry Nass for top-quality equipment and expert instruction in a world-class location. They offer a full range of equipment from Cabrinha. Whether you’re a beginner looking for lessons or an experienced kiter seeking high-performance gear, their trained instructors and well-maintained equipment ensure a safe, fun and unforgettable experience. With ideal wind conditions, warm waters, and all gear available on-site, you can focus entirely on maximizing your time on the water.

KITING SETUP

Fantastic mountain scenery and a safe lagoon make Dahab a top spot for kiting in Egypt, suitable for beginners to pro riders, with a safe shallow lagoon with flat water, and rolling waves and swell in the Gulf of Aqaba (open sea). The center combines reliable Red Sea wind with excellent safety, professional instruction, and relaxed comfort, making it the top choice for progressing your riding or simply enjoying long, effortless sessions.

WHEN IS BEST TO GO?

The best time for kiting in Dahab is from March until November, but even in winter months there are still more than 50% windy days. Dahab enjoys flat water inside the bay and waves in the open ocean, and benefits from warm temperatures, sunny days, and reliable Red Sea winds ideal for all kiting levels.

NO WIND?

If there’s no wind for kitesurfing, visitors can explore the coral reefs through snorkeling or diving, enjoy boat trips, or relax on beaches. SUP, take desert or Bedouin excursions, visit local markets, or enjoy cafes and waterfront dining. Spa treatments and yoga sessions are available locally and provide a more relaxed option.

Getting There

Fly into Sharm El Sheikh (SSH), about 1 hour by transfer. Transfers easily arranged.

Kite Options

9m or 10m kite for stronger wind days and a 12m kite for lighter conditions. Full range of Cabrinha kites on site.

Which Wetsuit?

Boardies / bikinis most of the year; in winter, bring a shorty wetsuit for comfort during longer or windier sessions.

Beer

A local beer (0.5 L) tends to cost about €1.10 to €1.30.

Typical Dinner

Many hotels offer buffet-style dining with grilled meats, fresh seafood, and international options (pasta, salads, soups). Local restaurants offer regional specialties: Egyptian stews, rice-based dishes, vegetable sides, and plenty of fresh bread.

Late Night

Beachfront restaurants serve fresh seafood and mezze; think beach cafés, shisha lounges, casual bars, mezze plates, and fresh seafood with sunset views.
