Check out our pick of the many Red Sea and Sa7el locations in Egypt, but remember that information may be subject to change. Go to the Facebook pages listed below to stay updated.
Kayaking
Not limited to the North Coast and Red Sea, you can also paddle around in Aswan, Luxor and Cairo.
Kitesurfing
Guaranteed to test the fitness levels, this adrenaline-filled sport offers elements of windsurfing and paragliding, amped up a few notches. Available in many Red Sea and North Coast locations, this sport takes skill and energy. Beginners take note!
Standup Paddle Boarding
Switch down and relax with a paddle board session. Best with a very light breeze and glassy water conditions, it works for all ages and (almost) all fitness levels. Interact with nature and see amazing marine life as you meander along at your own speed.
Sailing
Forget about noisy water craft, sailing is the way to go. Using only the power of natural wind, like most water based sports, it is environmentally friendly and a great way to get from A to B. Lessons are available for all ages, even kids.
Windsurfing
Egypt is considered one of the top global destinations for windsurfing, so consider yourself lucky that you are already here. A great way to keep your abs toned, it really offers a great work out for the whole body. It is fine for all age groups, so long as you have adequate swimming skills.
