THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel

Read the full experience

The wind tugs at the kite as the Red Sea lays flat and glassy ahead — turquoise turning deeper with each meter toward the horizon. On a wide sandy beach outside Hurghada, instructors unpack equipment and talk through wind windows while shallow lagoons promise forgiving first rides and open water tempts those chasing jumps.

History

Hurghada transformed from a small fishing port into a major Red Sea resort during the 20th century, driven by tourism and diving development along ancient coral reefs.

Conservation

The Red Sea’s coral systems are sensitive; avoid touching reefs, use reef‑safe sunscreen, and follow local guidance to minimize your impact.

Recommended gear

Rashguard or lightweight wetsuit: Protects skin from sun and chafing and offers slight thermal protection in cooler months.
Water shoes: Protects feet on rocky entry points and from hot sand on the beach.

Reef‑safe sunscreen and sunglasses: Protects against intense UV; polarized lenses help read water and wind conditions.
