Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 13-17m kites to maximize light wind days (avg 11.9 kts); a directional or beginner-friendly twin-tip board suits the flat water perfectly. Consider a quiver approach given variable seasonal winds.

Clothing · A light 3/2mm wetsuit works year-round for warm Egyptian waters, though spring/summer may require only board shorts and rash guard. High SPF sunscreen is essential given intense desert sun exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local beach users and tourists; stay within designated kiting areas if marked. Be aware of other water sports activities and maintain safe distances from swimmers.
