Hurghada, Egypt · 15h · €560 per session · EN
My best kite trip ever. The kite safari is awesome. They found beautiful locations and spots. All the crew members were very nice and kind all day long. Special thanks to Erik for great care and organization, and to my instructor and friend Amer for patience and professionalism.
What is this tour like?
READY TO KITE is Kite School Egypt's full beginner course: 'Beginner course 4 days / READY TO KITE 15 hours', €560. Fifteen hours is the length most schools consider necessary to get a beginner from zero to riding independently, and four days gives the wind room to fail once. Per hour that is under €40 — the lowest hourly rate among the kite courses we list in the Hurghada area.
Kite School Egypt is a Slovak-Czech school on the lagoon between Hurghada and El Gouna, at the Palma Resort on the Ismaileya road — roughly 20–30 km north of central Hurghada. It holds 4.9 on Google from 196 reviews as of 3 September 2026. One thing it does promise on the course page: 'you do not pay for unused course hours and days without wind'. The course page does not itemise inclusions — equipment, certification — so we do not list any; we ask the school in writing before you commit. The €560 is quoted for the course without a 'per person' marker.

“My best kite trip ever. The kite safari is awesome. They found beautiful locations and spots. All the crew members were very nice and kind all day long. Special thanks to Erik for great care and organization, and to my instructor and friend Amer for patience and professionalism.”
“If you are seriously into kitesurfing, this is a great place to begin. Prices are fine, service great too. You can meet the owners and have a little chat, they can recommend you what the next step is. There isn't so much luxury as in El Gouna — but you can have decent storage and hire whatever equipment you need.”
“Had a great time learning kiteboarding. I had limited time due to having our baby with us on holiday, but they arranged the lessons around times good for me. Equipment, teacher, price all great. Also the Medusa restaurant there has very nice food and WiFi to use too. Thanks!”
“I've just completed my first few lessons at Kite School Egypt and couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, everything felt professional, safe, and super enjoyable. The school is well-organized, the equipment is top-notch, and the atmosphere is really welcoming.”
