Soma Bay, a stunning peninsula located south of Hurghada, is technically part of the Safaga area but stands out as a top-tier destination for kitesurfing in Egypt. Famous for its steady winds and ideal conditions, kitesurfing Soma Bay has become a must-visit spot for both beginners and experienced riders. With over 300 days of wind per year, the area offers consistent kitesurfing opportunities, especially between March and November, making it a dream destination for water sports enthusiasts.

The bay boasts warm, turquoise, shallow waters and a 2 km long standing area that is about 30 to 60 cm deep, depending on the tide. This makes kitesurfing in Soma Bay particularly appealing to those learning the sport, as the waist-deep water ensures a safe and pleasant environment for first attempts. More advanced kitesurfers will also find plenty of space and ideal conditions, with side-offshore winds creating glassy flat water that’s perfect for freestyle tricks and extended sessions.

The wind strength varies from day to day, with some days bringing winds of 30+ knots, while others offer a more moderate 15-18 knots, perfect for all skill levels.

Multiple kitesurf centers are scattered around the resorts in Soma Bay, offering everything from beginner lessons to rental equipment for seasoned kitesurfers.

Soma Bay's consistent conditions and large, uncrowded kiting areas make it one of the top 3 kitesurfing spots in the world, ideal for long days on the water in one of Egypt’s most beautiful coastal locations.
