04-09-25 Tibi: Kiteboarding possible inside the lagoon only during high tide. You need in the same time good wind and deep water. Strong and relative gusty wind. Small size kites recomended.
04-09-25 Tibi: You could take a break and also try sandboarding on a nice sand dune at the entrance of Dahab.
