Great kitesurf school in Sharm El Sheikh! The instructors speak very good English and Russian, which makes learning easy. I improved a lot in a short time.

What is this tour like?

Red Sea Kiteboarding runs its beginner course from Nabq Bay, north of Sharm El Sheikh. The format is fixed: six hours of tuition split over two half days, so you sleep on what you learned on day one instead of trying to absorb everything in a single long session. All lesson equipment is included, and the school holds 5.0 on Google from 198 reviews.

There are two rates for the same course. Taken privately it is €240 per person; if you organise your own group of two or three friends, it is €175 per person, and the school caps that group at three. A kiteboarding certification is available on request but is charged separately — it is not part of the €240 or the €175. Lessons are taught in English. The exact half-day slots depend on the wind and are agreed with the school when you book.

What are the highlights?

  • Six hours of tuition split over two half days, not crammed into one
  • All lesson equipment included in the price
  • Two rates: €240 per person private, €175 per person in a group of 2–3
  • Groups capped at three people
  • 5.0 on Google from 198 reviews

FAQ

Is the price per person or per course?
Per person. It is €240 per person for the private course and €175 per person if you book as your own group of two or three friends.
How do I get the €175 rate?
By bringing your own group of two to three friends: the school then charges €175 per person instead of €240. It does not merge you with strangers to reach that rate.
What do I pay extra for?
Only the certification fee, if you ask for the kiteboarding certification. The lesson equipment itself is in the price.
Is equipment rental included?
Yes — the school states that all equipment is included with the lesson, so there is nothing to hire separately for the course.
Is hotel transfer included?
Transfer is not stated in the course description either way, so treat it as not included and confirm it with the school when booking. The base is in Nabq Bay.
How long is the course and how is it split?
Six hours in total, spread over two half days. The exact slots depend on the wind and are agreed with the school.
Do I need experience, and is there an age limit?
No experience is needed — the course is built for beginners. The school does not publish an age limit, so confirm it when you book.
What should I bring?
Swimwear, sunscreen, a rash guard, sunglasses with a strap, water and a towel. Everything kite-related comes from the school.
What if the wind does not cooperate?
A half day may be moved to another slot. The school does not publish fixed weather terms, so agree the rescheduling directly with it.
What language are the lessons in?
English — the only language the school states for its instruction.
