Hurghada must be one of the best places to learn to kitesurf. There are three bays with the downwind one popular with windsurfers, leaving the two upwind ones with large shallow areas free for kitesurfers.
There is plenty of space to practice flying the kite, bodydragging and waterstarting in shallow areas. This extends far enough from the beach to allow 100m runs before getting into deeper water.

Was in El gouna 2 month ago. there are 3 kite beaches in mangroovebeach in el gouna. Crowded but got safty and people giving a helping hand. cost about 7 euros a day if you have you own stuff. The wind is quite smooth not gusty cause noting in the way like in magawish. So it suits me as a beginner. I got 3 good day of my week so Iam happy.
