Dahab Lagoon (Laguna)

اللاجونا

A calm lagoon sheltered by a sandspit south of town, with steady winds and shallow water, famous as a place to learn windsurfing and kitesurfing on the Red Sea.

The lagoon lies south of Dahab, where a sandspit encloses a shallow, calm stretch of water. It faces steady northerly winds on the outside, making it one of Egypt's best-known windsurfing and kitesurfing bases. Several schools along the shore offer lessons from beginner to advanced, plus equipment rental. Resorts and beaches surround the lagoon, and the shallow water is ideal for children to paddle in. On windy days expect plenty of sand, so protect your skin and eyes. Kitesurfing lesson prices vary by centre.
