As we navigate between the islands during the northernmost part of our safari, you will have the opportunity to make the most of the perfect side shore wind. The clear water here allows you to easily spot dolphins gracefully gliding through. This unspoiled area is ideal for kayaking, snorkeling, and wakeboarding due to the calm and flat nature of the water.

We will conclude the day’s session back on Geisum, giving you the chance to explore any missed lagoons as the area is quite extensive. We will spend the night in Geisum.
Day Six
We will continue exploring Geisum and return to Abou Mongar by the end of the day to spend the night there.

After kiting until midday, we will savor a hearty lunch before heading back to Hurghada. At the marina, we will clean and pack the gear. If you still have energy for more fun, we can venture out to one of the popular beach nightclubs in the area. We will spend one last night on the boat in the marina.
Day Eight
It is time to bid farewell. After breakfast, we will disembark from the boat at 10 am. If you have a later flight, you can make the most of your time by enjoying some kiting spots in Hurghada or simply relaxing at a nearby beach until it is time to depart.

Tawila
Tawila Island is an Egyptian island located north of the city of Hurghada in the Red Sea. Its area is approximately 20 km², and it is 17 km² away from El Gouna tourist resort. The island contains sandy beaches and very beautiful blue waters to see all the water features and masterpieces submerged under its surface, in addition to the presence of dolphin fish. that swim next to you on the beach.
North Geisum
The Geisum Islands offer an incredible kiting playground with numerous bays, peninsulas, and reef-protected lagoons with mostly offshore winds. There are three main spots on these two islands—all of them pristine and shallow. One of our favorite sessions from here is an epic three-hour downwinder from South Geisum to Tawila: we quest across the open sea before hugging the shallows of Tawila’s shoreline while the zodiacs follow behind. Downwinders don’t get much better than this!
Ashrafi
Ashrafi is the furthest north island in the archipelago and home to an absolute gem of the area: a massive waist-deep lagoon with reefs sheltering the water from the wind, resulting in dream-like perfection. The butter-smooth water and multi-kilometer size (plus the option of an upwinder to the lighthouse or a two-hour downwinder all the way to South Geisum) makes Ashrafi a kite-safari highlight for everyone from beginners to advanced riders. No cell reception, no WiFi, no crowds—Ashrafi is an idyllic adventure spot that is an exclusive of Dragonfly Kite Safaris.
Abu Minqar
The perfect spot for our final day of kiting, Abu Minqar is renowned for its low-tide sandbar that forms a perfect flatwater speed zone. Hug the sandbar and you can freeride rally the shallows like you’re in a video game! We will be close enough to see the lights of Hurghada at night but still completely isolated from the mainland, enjoying a final session at one of the very best kite spots on the Red Sea. Without a doubt, Abu Minqar is a fantastic finale to our weeklong kite safari!
South Geisum
