“A perennial Waveriders favourite – the shallow lagoon, uncrowded waters and incredibly reliable year-round winds make this a classic kiting spot. All inclusive hotels close to the kite spot also mean fantastic value.”

Nabq Bay lies just 10km north of Sharm el Sheikh Airport and is set on the shores of a huge natural lagoon. As well as being a popular spot for divers, who come for the wrecks and reefs of the Red Sea, the presence of the constant winds throughout the year means it is just perfect for kiters. For us it is probably our most popular kiting destination.

The resort is comprised of a collection of seafront resort hotels, all of which operate on an all inclusive basis and make for an extremely cost effective holiday. Behind the accommodation there is a shopping mall with several small shops, bars and restaurants. This is ideal if you want to duck out of the all inclusive bubble for an hour or two.

Because the kitesurfing is either on site or just a short walk from most of our hotels, Nabq is a perfect spot for a family trip or non kiters who want to relax by their pool nearby. In addition to this, the kitesurf centre is excellent and we have hundreds of happy customers who have left Nabq as confident and competent kiters.

In the evening, there are plenty of options to choose from – enjoy dinner and relax in your hotel where there is always something going on, head out locally into the Nabq mall area or even a big night out to the bright lights of Naama Bay – a hectic yet fun experience!
