Kitesurf holidays in Hamata, Egypt

In the lagoon with sandy bottom, standing area and constant sideshore wind you can take your first steps or your first experiences on the kite or improve your level.

As soon as the air starts to move, we start towards the water, because practice is a very important factor to us. As long as you have energy and are not afraid of a sunstroke, you can stay on the water and work on your kite skills.

Of course, there are also various workshops with LakeUnited within a week that give you a comprehensive insight into the world of kitesurfing.

We cannot list the number of hours here, because you get full support from us this week. We design our program according to the circumstances. Since our goal is your maximum progress, you can look forward to a brilliant time with many successes.

LakeUnited's events are always educational. Because our goal is that you can take as much as possible with you.

We place great value on practice and can now look back on more than 15 years of training experience in kitesurfing. Nevertheless, we are constantly evolving by continuously revising our concepts.

After all, there is not just one way, because everyone learns differently and needs different inputs. In addition, one or the other may already have made mistakes that need to be specifically corrected 

We use different approaches to improve your skills on the water and on the kite. We will hold several workshops and also offer video analyzes - if everything goes well, even with a projector in the evening. This has already proven itself many times! Because we love detailed work, we can draw your attention to little things that others don't even see. Often, just a few small changes lead to the desired success and you enjoy more fun and safety on the water. 

In our high-quality kite lessons, we clearly see our strength in empathy and in working on a personal level. With empathy and a lot of fun, we will pick you up right where you are. This applies to beginners as well as professionals, after all, we have already trained some kite instructors in our academy.

Yes, so that you can try things out and don't have to sit around waiting for better wind, we offer our equipment in a package. Our equipment rental includes kites and boards. 

Whether you're kiting on land or on the water, in strong or light winds – we have the right equipment for you! This means you can travel much more carefree, use twin-tip or waveboards as you please, and enjoy new kites from top brands like Flysurfer, Core, Ozone, Harlem, or Duotone, and spend more time on the water overall.

Good to know: Harness and neoprene equipment

If you don't have your own harness or want to try one out, let us know, and we'll pack the right one for you to rent. By the way, the rental fee will be credited towards the purchase price if you keep the harness after the camp.

If you don't have your own wetsuit or other neoprene equipment, we're happy to advise you or help you rent one on-site.

Directly opposite the kite school is the Kite Village Hotel with its bungalows. Here, you'll have a spacious room and a generous bathroom. The rooms are equipped with everything you need, even a TV.

The rooms are comfortable and very spacious. The bathroom, in particular, offers endless space. In front of the room there is a nice terrace, inviting for a debriefing or two.

Zusätzlich können auch Tiny Houses im Kite-Village Camp gebucht werden. Sie sind etwas günstiger und befinden sich etwa sieben Minuten Fußweg vom Restaurant und der Kitestation.

Rooms can be booked as double rooms (DBL) or single rooms (SGL). We are also happy to connect single travelers within the group, so that as a single person you are not forced to book a single room. Double rooms are offered with separate beds. 

We eat breakfast and dinner together in the KiteVillage Camp. The chef 'George' cooks, who definitely knows his craft.

After an extensive kite session, you need enough energy for the next day, which you can easily get from the delicious buffet.

There are also plenty of vegan or vegetarian dishes. You can always find something - even the salad is excellent and the soups are a dream. 

The great thing about eating at the Kitevillage Camp is that all the kiters come together, eat and relax together and have a beer or two.

The mood is extremely pleasant. And if you can play chess, the head chef will be happy if you challenge him.

Dependent on your destination of departure you will travel by plane to Marsa Alam or Hurghada in Egypt with an estimated travel time of about 4 (Hurghada) to 4.5 hours (Marsa Alam) from Germany, Austria or Switzerland.

After you have perhaps made a detour to the duty-free area, the transfer we have organized from the airport to Hamata to the KiteVillage is waiting for you. 

The journey takes about 2 ½ hours from Marsa Alam Airport and about 4 ½ hours from Hurghada Airport. However, it is definitely worth the journey. This lagoon – a dream. Your kitesurfing progress – secured.

Visa: You need a visa for Egypt. You can order one online in advance or simply purchase one upon arrival at the airport.

Catering while getting there: You should pack some food. Food is now rare on the planes and mostly not sufficient.

Money exchange: You don't need to change money into Egyption Pounds. In the KiteVillage you can pay everything in Euro. If you pay with credit card in the KiteVillage, e.g. at the beach bar or the kite station, an additional 3% will be added.

Passport: Of course you need a valid passport. It must be valid for at least 6 months upon departure.

Internet: You can buy a SIM card for local internet at the airport (Vodafone). There is also a shop at the kite station. A little more expensive, but there you get what you ordered.

Travel insurance: Wir sind keine Versicherungsagenten, sind aber dazu angehalten dir eine umfassende Reiseversicherung anzubieten. Und in Wahrheit, macht eine Storno- und Reiseversicherung schon Sinn. Du kannst dich im Rahmen deiner Buchung für ein Versicherungspaket entscheiden.

Equipment insurance: With the insurance tool of the Association of German Water Sports Schools (VDWS) you are insured against damage to your own equipment or to the rental equipment. This has often saved us stress, which is why we definitely recommend the VDWS Safety Tool! You can find more information about this http://safetytool.de/VY99056

How much time do we spend on the water?
We are known for getting the most out of it and do not stick to fixed course times. You can kite for as long as you want, can or until the sun goes down.

How are the groups adapted to my level?
Du wirst entsprechend deines Könnenstands in eine Gruppe eingeteilt und von einem LakeUnited Coach betreut, der oder die auf deine individuellen Ziele eingeht.

I eat vegetarian/vegan, is that possible there?
Yes, it actually works very well there. The kitchen at the camp is always highly praised for its really good vegan Arabic dishes.

Do I need a wetsuit?
We recommend a 4/3 or 5/4. The water can be a bit fresh, especially in the morning.

Do I have to wait at the airport or does the transfer take place straight away?
You will be picked up as soon as you arrive and you don't have to wait or stick to certain times.

Wie läuft das mit Internet vor Ort?
Vor Ort gibt es kein (verlässliches) WLAN. Am Flughafen kannst du aber aus einer Reihe von Anbietern wählen, um dir eine SIM-Karte zu kaufen oder du besorgst dir bereits eine eSIM vorab. Zusätzlich gibt es auch die Möglichkeit, an der Kitesation in Hamata SIM-Karten für mobiles Internet zu kaufen.

Can my partner (not a kiter) come with me too?
Yes, that is possible. Simply send us a short email message and we will send you the current special conditions.

Can I arrive earlier or extend my stay in Hamata?
Yes, you can arrive earlier and stay longer; we can arrange that for you. We'll simply add the additional nights after your booking. If you also want to kitesurf, there will be an additional charge for spot use and/or equipment rental.
