Overview
On the Red Sea coast, Soma Bay is a large bay highly sought after for kitesurfing, with a resort-like atmosphere and plenty of clear water as far as the eye can see. The spot is known for its consistent wind, often enhanced by thermals, and for a water surface ranging from flat to slight chop depending on where you are sailing. The most sheltered area is well-suited for learning and beginners, while the more open edges offer great opportunities for freeride and speed. The wind frequently blows side-off to offshore, providing super clean conditions but requiring attention to safety rules and boat support depending on the centers. It is also a very popular destination for intermediate and advanced riders, especially for smooth sessions in a sunny setting almost all year round.
