Marsa Alam has become in recent years “the” kitesurfing spot of the Red Sea. Amazing paradisiac desert beaches along this remote coast offer ideal conditions to practice the latest craze in board sports. Top surf centres in the main coastal cities organise adventurous kitesurfing safaris, where surfers sleep in tented camps and hop from beach to beach seeking the ultimate kitesurfing experience, amidst breathtaking views of totally unspoilt nature. Shallow white sand beaches and constant wind the whole year round are attracting a number of surfers enthusiasts. The area is famous as well for excellent snorkelling – what a better experience than snorkelling and swimming with the dolphins at the protected area of Samadai? Daily boats take you there weekly – but be aware: the area is strictly monitored and access is divided into zones. Hotels and resorts along the coast offer also a number of other aquatic activities, for those not so adventurous, such as kayaking, sailing with small catamarans, banana boating and more. |
