Travelling to Safaga

Safaga offers excellent conditions for windsurfers and kite surfers due to the constant wind conditions and the crystal clear water. It is therefore one of the most popular areas in Egypt for watersports. The place extends along a strip of desert between the Red Sea and the picturesque mountains, is about 55 km south of Hurghada and 230 kilometers north of Marsa Alam.

Traveling by plane is probably the fastest and most stress-free way to get to Safaga. There are direct flights from almost all major European airports to Hurghada or Marsa Alam and it takes only four to five hours.

Flight to Egypt

When booking the flight, you should already know whether you will be bringing your own equipment with you. Some airlines transport your sports baggage for free, while others charge high additional fees. The same applies to transfers by taxi or bus from / to the airport.

You are welcome to rent all the equipment from us on site. So you don't have to carry additional luggage and you always have the right kite and board size available.

If you drive your own car to the airport from your home, you can quickly incur high fees for long-term parking. That's why Park & Ride services are available at every major airport. FLUPARKS or PARKHERO are e.g. good platforms to reserve cheap parking spaces at many European airports. With some providers you can choose the even more convenient valet parking option. You can use it to drive your car to the departure terminal and, after a short handover check, give it to the service employee of the parking lot operator, who will then take it to the reserved parking space for you. On the day of arrival you will be picked up again and you can reload your luggage directly from the luggage cart back into your car. It couldn't be more convenient!

Transfer to Safaga

Safaga can be reached from Hurghada Airport by taxi or transfer bus in 30-45 minutes. It takes at least two to three hours from Marsa Alam, which is why Hurghada Airport is definitely the better choice. We would be happy to organize the airport transfer for you with a vehicle and driver we know, and at a fair market price.

We advise not to rent a car, as the taxi prices are relatively cheap and there isn't much to explore in and around Safaga anyway. Various hotels and accommodations are in close proximity to our Tornado Surf Center. So there are no great distances to overcome on site.

Wind and Weather

The weather in Safaga is dominated by a hot desert climate. There are two main seasons - the summer from April to October and winter from September to March. In the summer months the thermometer goes up to 35° during the day, while it cools down to 20-25° during the night. In winter, daytime temperatures are between 20-25° and can go down to 15° in the night.

There is hardly any rainfall. Max. 1-2 times per year it can rain a little bit in Safaga.

Strong thermal winds provide good to very good kite and windsurfing conditions virtually all year round. In the morning the wind usually starts from the north-west and therefore blows side offshore on the beaches of Safaga. Late in the morning it then turns to north and blows perfect sideshore along the coast. Until 2-3pm there is usually very consistent wind, which then - depending on the season - slowly dies down, or keeps blowing till sunset.
