Windsurfing Holiday in Dahab

Dahab is great for windsurfing holidays; it is located on the south eastern side of the Sinai peninsular, facing Saudi Arabia across the Gulf of Aqaba. The scenery is spectacular, starting with the transfer from Sharm el Sheikh airport (approx. 1 hour) winding through cliffs and wadis. In Dahab, the mountains make a picturesque background to the sparkling blue sea.

This is one of the best windsurfing spots we offer and is especially good for a wide mixture of abilities and year around excellent conditions.

Itinerary / Highlights

THE WIND
Dahab has an impressive wind record with around 300 days a year of winds between Force 4 and 7. It also has the benefit of a range of conditions to suit all levels of windsurfer. The wind comes off the land and over the sea in a cross off shore direction generally.

THE WINDSURFING
Dahab is one of our most popular resorts, due to its incredibly reliable year around wind and variety of sailing conditions to suit all abilities. The flat shallow water runs from the beach for 2km before you get past the protection of the sandbank and into the swell coming down the Gulf of Aqaba. It is ideal for beginners, intermediate freestyle and slalom blasting.
Directly from the beach the wind can be quite light and gusty, cleaning up and getting much stronger out at the mouth of the bay. For beginners all the centres have shallow flat water directly in front which is ideal, although the Harry Nass Centre 1 does have the ideal spot with a large shallow protected area with the best wind. For the more advanced sailors the Harry Nass Centre 2 (at the Iberotel) has an ideal launch for direct access to the sand bar and beyond.
