Tides are irregular but shallow, only difference is whether you can use the shallow water area in the kite zone of Hotel Shams. The shallow area gets very crowded with beginners. Some big stones in the water, watch your legs.

On the beach, the wind is slightly gusty, but you can stand in the water (maximum up to your knees) and your assistant at the edge of the water when you launch. Makes safe launching very easy. Unfortunately, if you are not living in the Hotel Shams, you have to pay to get onto the beach.

Wind is almost always N or NW to N more constant, NW slightly offshore and more gusty (rescue boat available). The wind is most reliable in the summer (very reliable), autumn is also great, winter is ok. Gusty winds near shore when it it (slightly) offshore. The hot, dry wind means that you need a slightly bigger kite for the same wind force (the air is less dense).

06-07-19 Andreas: Great for beginners, wind was 70% good in May. Some big stones in the water, watch your legs. Fee if you're not staying at Shams is 40 Eqyptian Pounds (5 Euros) (May 2006).
05-11-21 swell: Just came back from that place. Nice hotel (Shams Safaga), food is ok.
The shallow area is to shallow and to small, because allways full of the beginners, and the wind is to gusty near the beach, so if you look for somewhat to practicing freestyle tricks, go better somewhere else. For hooked in riders it's ok. Wind slighty offshore, but there is a rescue boat.
