Ras Mohamed National Park (Sharm El Sheikh)

Ras Mohamed National Park (Sharm El Sheikh) is described as a remote, scenic kitesurfing/foiling area with exceptionally clear, crystal-clear water and a large sandy beach. Inside the protected lagoon zone, the water is very flat and shallow enough to support easy self-launch, making it especially attractive for freestyle and freeride sessions. Wind is predominantly NW, with thermal reinforcement that provides the most reliable conditions from May through October (especially late summer). Reported typical wind speeds are roughly 15–25 knots, and gustiness can increase toward late August and September. Wind reliability is described as high during the summer season and lower in winter. Access is typically via a desert track off the main road leading into Ras Mohamed National Park, with the riding area about 10 km outside the national-park boundary (roughly 10–15 minutes off-road). The spot is remote, and on-site facilities are essentially absent—there are no shops—so riders should plan to bring water and food. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended for the off-road approach. Safety depends heavily on staying within permitted lagoon zones: kitesurfing is strictly prohibited inside the main marine protected areas, and riding is limited to specific areas such as the El Jankie lagoon. Sharp coral and reef edges outside the main sandy lagoon are a key hazard, and offshore wind plus limited emergency capacity means you should be conservative and tide-aware (check tide depth to avoid the shallowest areas).
