Sharm El Sheikh – Nabq Bay

Nabq Bay, located in the newly developed northern part of Sharm El Sheikh, is just 10 minutes from the airport, making it a convenient destination for kitesurfers. As the only area in Sharm El Sheikh where you can take kitesurfing lessons, enjoy easy learning conditions, or book a complete kitesurfing holiday package, it’s a perfect spot for all skill levels.

The lagoon in Nabq Bay is a standout feature. It’s flat, waist-deep, and protected, offering safe and easy learning conditions. The water is clear with no obstacles or boats, making it ideal for beginners. The lagoon is divided into two sections: beginners can enjoy the upwind area, where lessons take place in a safe, shallow environment, while more experienced riders can make the most of the freeriding zone directly in front of the launching area. Here, kitesurfing Sharm El Sheikh offers smooth, consistent winds perfect for practicing freestyle moves and tricks. Further out, there are moderate waves for those looking to improve their wave-riding skills. A 20-minute upwind ride takes more advanced kitesurfers to a bay with moderate rolling waves, perfect for boosting big airs and tackling head-high swells.

In terms of wind, Nabq Bay benefits from constant, side-shore winds that blow year-round. The wind predominantly comes from the north or northeast, delivering strong and reliable conditions, especially in the mornings. The strongest and most consistent days are September to June.
