Ridden forKitesurfing
A real, established kite center at the northern tip of the Red Sea — deep water, side-shore wind roughly 80–90% of the time, and space enough that it's rarely crowded. Windy season runs mid-March to mid-October; July/August are the calmer months within it. Jordan requires a rescue boat to kite here, which the local center provides.
