Red Sea · Hurghada · 2027 season
Kite safari in Egypt: a week on a yacht across Red Sea spots
You live on board and every day the boat goes where the wind is: lagoons, sandbanks by the islands and spots you can't reach from the shore. Two sessions a day, rescue from the boat, a group put together by K1. We're forming groups for 2027 — dates and price on request.
A yacht instead of a hotel
Cabin, meals and moving between spots all happen on board. No daily drive to a station and back.
Spots reachable only by water
Shallow lagoons and sandbanks by the islands that only a boat can get to. Few people on the water.
More time on the water
A morning and an afternoon session every day. The captain picks the route by the wind forecast and sea state.

These are northern Red Sea spots usually visited on a kite week. The final route depends on wind, weather and the group's level.
How the week goes
Day 1 — arrival
Evening check-in on the yacht in Hurghada marina, gear stowed, briefing, dinner on board.
Days 2–5 — riding
Breakfast, morning session, lunch, afternoon session, dinner. Between sessions the yacht moves to the next spot.
Day 6 — last day
Morning session, lunch and the cruise back to the marina. Farewell dinner.
Day 7 — departure
Breakfast and check-out in the morning.
The programme is a guide: on a windy day we ride more, on a calm day we change spot.
Who it's for
Independent riders
You water-start and ride upwind — that's the core safari format: new spots and as much riding as possible.
