Kitecity Abu Soma - Ägypten

A few years ago this spot was reachable only by boat. Today, there is the Hotel Intercontinental and the Kite station Surf Motion right next to the sandy beach. Just in front in the bay is a huge sandbank surrounded with shallow water. Just perfect conditions!

Spot-Info

The best shallow water spot south of the Arctic Circle!

The spot:

The best shallow water spot of the Arctic Circle! Soma Bay was a military zone, only on the water civilian vehicles and aircrafts tolerated. On a peninsula luxury hotels are settled but in the bay there is an open channel fort he north to north-est wind for the six-kilometre long speed track. Earlier the bay was only reachable by boat or going upwind, but now the Intercontinental Hotel settled down at the entrance of Soma Bay. The spot in front of the hotel has a small shallow with a sand bank. Fascinating is to speed just a meter from land.

The Hotel:

The new five stars Hotel Intercontinental Abu Soma is the best choice for Kitecity. From the Robinson Club in the opposite it is difficult to get in the water, because of the reefs. The Abu Soma offers a big water sport centre with rescue service and school.

The wind:

It is a secret: Even it is written in some leaflets different: The wind in fall, winter and springtime is extremely dependent from the weather in the Mediterranean Sea and is unpredictable. The KITE magazine writes from a 50 percent of wind probability from November to March. From May he stabilizes and reaches in midsummer with 70 to 95 percent probability of strong wind. In midsummer you will have fun with small kites and in winter you can easy ride with a large one. But it can also happen that you need a small kite in winter: everything is possible!
