Private Kitesurf Lesson at Kite Beach — KSD
One instructor, one student, and the only stretch of Dubai coast where kiting is officially allowed.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · 1h · up to 1 guests · AED 450 per person per hour · EN
What is this tour like?
Kite Beach is not a nickname — it is the stretch of Jumeirah coastline where kiting is permitted in Dubai, and it is where the school teaches. The water is shallow a long way out and the afternoon sea breeze is steady, which is close to ideal for a first hour on a trainer kite.
A private lesson is one instructor to one student, so the kite is in your hands the whole time rather than half of it. The rate covers the instructor, all equipment and VAT. If you already know you want to get riding rather than just try it, the school prices packages by the hour: three hours, six hours or nine, with the nine-hour block valid for six months. Two or three friends learning together can take the semi-private track instead, at AED 300 per person per hour.

- On Kite Beach itself, the designated kiting stretch
