Windsurfing Holiday in El Tur, Egypt

In respect of windsurfing holidays, El Tur is one of the best spots in Egypt and its isolation is its charm. Only 50 minutes from Sharm Airport, it has long been known as a very windy spot, but only recently has a centre and hotel been established. El Tur is in fact the capital of the Sinai, and has barely been touched by tourism.

There is a moderate climate all year round and as well as having excellent conditions there are unlikely to be more than 20 windsurfers on the water. Catch it before the crowds come. You may well have a small audience as you gybe close to the mosque, as windsurfers are very much a novelty.

THE WIND
As with the rest of Egypt, although it is a year around destination the best wind is in the summer when it is regularly bft 5 and above. The wind in El Tur is also super clean giving you the extra confidence to really push it…

THE WINDSURFING
The impressive new Ocean Source Windsurf Centre has taken over from El Tur Windsurfing and has one of the most enviable spots in the Red Sea.
Although El Tur is a relatively new location, it has a growing reputation with other Egyptian windsurfing spots as one of the best locations in Egypt particularly as it boasts the only wave spot in this region.
