7BFT KiteHouse is open every day from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, ideal for daytime kitesurfing sessions. To get there, take a taxi from Hurghada Airport (about 45 minutes away) or a transfer from your hotel in Soma Bay; the center is located directly on the beach. More details are available on its official website or call +20 12 2345 6789.
Beach access is free, but kitesurfing lessons start at 50 euros per hour, and equipment rentals are around 30-40 euros. There are beginner packages that include equipment and insurance for around 200 euros per day. Check updated prices on their rates page.
It is recommended to allow at least 2-3 hours for a basic kitesurfing session or beach exploration, but if you take a full course, plan for 4-6 hours including instruction. It is perfect for a half-day visit if combined with relaxing on the beach.
Founded in 2010, 7BFT KiteHouse has become one of the most recognized kitesurfing centers in the Red Sea, attracting windsurfers thanks to its steady winds and flat waters. Culturally, it highlights Egypt's growing water sports scene, promoting sustainable adventure in a coastal paradise.
The best period is from March to October, when the northwesterly winds are ideal for kitesurfing (15-25 knots). Early morning (8:00 AM-11:00 AM) is perfect for avoiding crowds and enjoying calmer waters; avoid midday if you want less heat.
The beach is accessible with gentle ramps to the water, but kitesurfing requires mobility; they offer wheelchair adaptations in common areas. Contact them in advance at +20 12 2345 6789 for personalized assistance and check guides on the Soma Bay website.
Nearby you will find the Soma Bay golf course, a 5-minute drive away, or the ancient site of Safaga for Egyptian history. You can also explore the coral reef for snorkeling right next door; a combined visit takes a full day.
Bring sunscreen, light clothing, and a bottle of water, as the sun in Egypt is intense; book lessons in advance during high season. If you are a beginner, choose a certified instructor for safety, and use the provided equipment to avoid risks in strong winds.
