About Magawish Hotel
This spot offers two possibilities to kitesurf. Experienced riders can go out right in front of the center, where the water will be deep a few meters from the beach and one will be facing a reef downwind, so staying upwind is a must. A few hundred meters offshore, there is a sandbar sticking out with a big shallow area with beautiful waters in all shades of blue. Beginners will find a big shallow lagoon after a few hundred meters walk. The water is quite salty, it takes a day or two to adjust to that. There are lots of diving boats cruising around and jumping close to them (preferably behind them) will earn you big cheers from the divers, that can be quite funny. Due to corals outside at parts of the sandbar and downwind from the center shoes for not experienced riders are a good option.

How do I get to Magawish Hotel?
You simply book a flight to Hurghada. Exiting the airport, there will be a huge crowd of taxi-drivers waiting for you. That's where your bargaining skills decide how expensive your ride will be. It's quite important to agree on a price before entering the cab (20-30 Egypt. Pounds). More important than bargaining for a few bucks is to take care of your boardbag. If the driver fixes it to the roof, double check his work - you'll be facing a wild ride in an Egyptian taxi and so does your bag on the roof. Don't hesitate to raise your voice if necessary and don't take the driver's word if you're not totally sure your equipment is stored secure - more than one bag was sacrificed to the Egyptian streets.
