Makani Beach
Egypt · Mer-Rouge
Makani Beach in El Gouna, on the Red Sea in Egypt, is a popular spot for kiters due to its turquoise lagoon and relaxed atmosphere within the Makani Beach Club. Located north of El Gouna, it offers easy access from hotels and the marina by tuk-tuk.
The large launch area with fine sandy bottom particularly attracts beginners, while also suiting experienced riders thanks to its unlimited space. The club offers complete facilities such as a compressor, hot shower, and rescue boat.
It is a perfect place to combine kite sessions and relaxation, with a restaurant, bar, and fitness center on site.

The dominant wind comes from the north or northwest, blowing in a side-onshore direction relative to the beach, ensuring ideal consistency without obstacles like buildings. This orientation creates stable crosswind on the water, perfect for long and controlled sessions.
The lagoon offers a flat water surface near the shore, with a waist-deep depth even at low tide, and enough space for all levels. Launching is done directly from the sandy beach of the club, with a dedicated and wide take-off area. Far from the shore, the water becomes chop due to traffic, but the central area remains smooth.
Tides vary by 80 cm every 12 hours, with no major impact on navigability due to the constant depth of the lagoon. Local features include a venturi effect from the surroundings and a mix of tradewind and thermal, making the spot rideable year-round, especially from June to September. The club ensures monitoring with a rescue boat and space to rinse gear.
