Impressions of our Trips

“We want our customers to have the best possible kitesurf experience and create memories that last a lifetime”

Founded by Saif, we share our passion for wind with our guests for over 10 years. Our homespot is El Gouna, where we teach, coach and organize our safaris from March to October. In the winter, we spend the season at world class flatwater spots in Sri-Lanka.

HOW OUR SAIFARIS WORK

Our goal is to make your time during the Saifari as simple and easy as possible. It all starts with a free pickup from Hurghada Airport and the first night on the boat. Over the next days, we visit different islands and kitespots before returning back to Hurghada to end your holdiays.

When we get to a new spot, we load up all the gear onto the two zodiac boats. It's just a quick 5-minute ride from the main boat to the beach where we set up the kites. We always have a beach assistant and rescue boats on standby for the session. Then, it's time to have some fun kitesurfing!

A day on the boat

Each day on the boat is slightly different, but typically includes 2-3 kite sessions. Our Saifaris, organized from March to October, benefit from consistent winds. Here's a glimpse of what you can expect on a typical day on the boat.

Morning session

For those who like to wake up early, we offer an optional sunrise session as a fantastic way to kickstart the day. It's a wonderful opportunity for those who wish to make the most of their mornings.

Every morning we offer a healthy and balanced breakfast. For all our meals we offer vegeterian as well as vegan options - simply let us know before you arrive.

Try new tricks

In your first or second session of the day, you can enjoy the great winds and really work on your tricks in amazing flatwater. To really boost your riding, you can get coaching from one of our performance coaches.

Lunch & Chill

Time for a break! Our two chefs on board will prepare a delightful lunch, giving you a chance to recharge. Before the sunset session, take some time to unwind, relax a bit, or even have a quick power nap.

sunset session

It's time for a sunset session where you can soak in the good vibes and the cooler temperatures. After the sessions, we often have an aperitif on the beach and enjoy the sunset.

Dinner & Recharge

Time to recharge the batteries, enjoy some dinner & good conversations. We often have a few drinks together, play some games and relax before going to sleep after a long day of kitesurfing.

We have a variety of different boats that we use for our trips - from luxury yachts to breathtaking sailing boats. Each boat has 10 to 20 spots and is fully equipped to make your kite-holidays unforgettable.

We offer a range of room options to choose from. Each room is equipped with a private bathroom and A/C for your comfort.

Our kiting season spans from March to October, providing a wide array of trips and options to choose from. Additionally, we offer special trips for Christmas and New Year's celebrations.

How it was last year

How safe in Egypt?

In Egypt and Hurgada especially is a very welcoming place living a lot from tourism. So it's pretty safe in general now: no conflicts inside of related to country and all the tourists are "holy cows", so you don't need to worry about your safety on the boat or in the city. Still wearing more reserved clothes is recommended for girls as Egypt is Muslim country. Unless you want to constantly catch the eyes of Egyptian men on you or find local husband fast 😁 More reserved outfit (without open bellies, very short skirts/dresses/shirts, transparent or sexy clothes) matters basically only when you go out of Marina. Marina itself is a super touristic place with locals used to every possibly outfit.

Money questions/exchange etc

You don't need to take a lot of cash on you. If you paid only the prepayment for the safari, we kindly ask you to take euros to pay the rest on the boat in the first day. In all the restaurants in Marina and most of shops you can pay by card, but when you go out of Marina for some shopping it's better to have local cash or small dollars on you. You can get local cash from the ATMs in Marina. There are also ATMs where you can change dollars/euros. For that sometimes they ask you for a local phone number, but you can just put 11 times "0" (00000000000) and it'll be enough to proceed to change. You can also change money on Sharaton street, the main touristic vein of Hurgada, in 5 minutes walk from our Marina. There are bank branches for that. The only thing you need with you is your passport. Smaller dollars/euros can be also in need when you buy local sim-card in the airport. Be ready that they'll pay you change in local currency. Soft drinks (juice, water, tea, instant coffee) are included in price of the safari buy you can need cash to pay for alcohol (wine, beer) and espresso coffee. Cash can be needed to pay for individual photoshoots some memorables on the boat (we will have glasses, silver hand-made jewelry for sale). We would not recommend you to change money in the airport because the change rate is not very good there.

Where you can go for shopping ?

If you want to buy some Egyptian memorables (spices, natural sponges, tea, black seed oil, Arabic lamps, Arabic dresses, jewelry etc) you can go for shopping to Marina or to Sharaton street (5minutes from our Marina). Also there will be option to buy awesome glasses and silver hand-made jewelry on the boat.

Insurance / Sea Sickness / Health issues

On our trip while being on the boat you don't need to worry about your health. The boat is being cleaned all the time. Special reliable stuff is cleaning your room every day and change towels one time during the trip. The food is adapted to European tastes so you don't need to be worried about you stomach as well. Hygiene and clean water is a must here. Though every body is different, very rear stomach issues can happen even in the best places in the world. In any situation we have all needed medical and a doctor on the yacht. As the boat is very big it's a slight chance that you'll experience sea sickness. But in case you are sensitive to swell there are special tablets on the boat. You should take one pill evening before our launch from Marina at 5:30 a.m. and problem is solved. When we are at the island we are not moving so you basically sleep like a kid in a swing. No sea sickness can occur during the boat being parked at the spot😇 We would recommend you to take care of the medical insurance. Don't forget that we'll be doing an extreme kind of sport. Under the eye of instructors it's safe at maximum but if you're doing freestyle the risks increase, so please take care of being insured for doing water sports. On the boat we'll have a doctor but if smth more serious happens and the boat to the mainland will be needed it is at least 300-400€ one way. So please, jump from the highest deck of the boat only in the last day of the trip 👹

What's about internet during the trip?

We will have internet connection at the most spots of the kite-safari. We also take signal antenna's amplifiers, so the connection will be more or less stable. Unfortunately with Egyptian internet, it's not always easy, so if someone needs to go to video calls and not depend on how many people connect to the wi-fi, it's better to buy Egyptian sim-card or be on roaming. ‼️ There's a chance that we stay on the spot without internet for a couple of days. So please finish all your urgents before the trip. Info for those who will buy local cards for the Internet. They cost $10-15 and we will buy them right at the airport. It is preferable to take Orange or Etisalat. Therefore, it is better to have small dollars with you, the Egyptians are happy to accept them, but they like to give out change in their local currency. Therefore, exchange $50-100 banknotes for smaller 1-5-10$

What clothes do you need for kitesurfing?

October is a warm month, the average air temperature is +30 C, the water temperature is about +25C. And this means that it is very comfortable to ride and you can forget about uncomfortable thick wetsuits. Here's approximate items you can need: 🔸 hat for riding, otherwise the face can burn badly 🔸 glasses with a good UV lens to protect your eyes from the sun. This is especially important for beginners who constantly look up at the kite and, accordingly, at the sun. Be sure to have a rope /floater for the glasses so that they do not drown. 🔸Neoprene shoes - a must for everyone!!! The ideal option for me is a short shoes 1-3 mm. In 5 mm shoes you will be very hot. 2mm is fine too. 🔸lycra shirt - a must for everybody to not get burned, leggings for girls - optional (especially for those who's learning during low tides). Leggings can be the most ordinary sports ones that you don’t mind wasting. Remember, it will most likely be hot and during the day the whole body better to hide from direct sun, especially in the first days. 🔸short thin 1-2 mm wetsuits are also considered as an option for riding, especially after lunch, when the active sun goes down rapidly. It doesn't get cold, but the heat goes away. 🔸 Do I need a long 3 mm wetsuit? You definitely don't need it in October, but just in case and if you have 3mm shorty you can take it. 🔸 Do I need a long 5 mm wetsuit? We can recommend to leave space in your bag for mango instead of 5mm wetsuit in October😇 🔸it can also be useful to take smth to cover the lower part of your face - but it's definitely optional, not a must 🔸 sun creams, colorful surf zincs and again sun creams, better with SPF 50, and don't forget to put it on your ears! Believe it or not, but they will burn first 😁

Which clothes should I take to wear on the boat?

October is always a warm month. Of course, we will check the weather before the flight to check if nothing changed ftom what we used to. For today the clothes-list can look like that: ▫️ socks, flip flops and maximum sandals or flip flops that you want to wear to the island. On the boat its a barefoot-mode. The floor is always clean, the staff cleans it regularly. And you will not be allowed into the dining room in shoes, the staff carefully monitors this and the cleanliness of the yacht. Therefore, who does not want to walk barefoot - take socks. ▫️ Light clothing is essential. As during the day you change from your swimsuit/shorts to dry clothes for lunch or evening. ▫️ guys often take 1-2 pairs of shorts, a couple of T-shirts, a jacket and that's it ▫️ girls often take shorts, a skirt, t-shirts, a shirt, light dresses, put a sweater / jacket on their shoulders in the evening ▫️ a light windbreaker (we remember that the wind is blowing here), leggings / top / shorts (for yoga and stretching), you can wear hoodies or light pants ▫️also take some outfit/costume for our TRIBE Party. Some inspirational looks/examples we'll send later. We have also idea about NEON party, if everyone have time and power for that, so some white item is advisable in your wardrobe👼 ▫️ be sure to take caps/hats/SPF creams/zincs/sunglasses with the leash/line to them ▫️ hair dryer if the girls need it In fact, you don’t need a lot of clothes, because basically everyone spends time on the beach. In the morning you go out for breakfast, then drink coffee on the 2nd deck, then ride, then change and have lunch (chill on the decks), then ride again and then go down for dinner. Here, girls can recall that they have a beautiful dresses or pink lipstick, while guys still continue to wear their shorts 🙂

What about alcohol in Egypt?

In Egypt You can buy Strong alcohol , champagne and wine. But it's better to buy alcohol in your country or in Duty Free🤓. Because Local alcohol is ... very local😄🤔but it's impossible to find here anything else. 😜 (Attention! you can buy only one bottle in Egyptian duty free) You can buy egyptian strong alcohol, champagne, beer and energy drinks on the yacht for an additional fee.

• Bali2u0812 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Okay if you want 2 star This boat might be 5 star Egyptian rating but it is 2 star at best in my experience … bed is hard as a board, pillows too uncomfortable, all showers are over deep tub… too hard to get in and out. Pool is tiny and the 4 flights of stairs to negotiate several times a day was too much. The buffet food is ok if you are locals, and the waiter thought it was funny to constantly speak to our group in a high pitched Minnie Mouse voice like we were 5 year olds… very annoying! This boat is old and tired and needs a revamp plus the male reception staff give zero care factor of dealing with requests from women … had to ask 3 times before any of them to sort my requests … felt like we were annoying them … terrible service which we had to pay big tips!

• Davide B 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Nice cruise on the Nile It was a very pleasant way to spend a week on the Nile and discover the history of one of the greatest civilizations. Our representative Mirna at Sheba Tours was very communicative and made sure to text us in the morning and in the evening to confirm the schedule and to make sure that everything was going as planned. She went out of her way to address the few issues we encountered. She deserves 5 stars out of 5. The cruise itself was lovely and relaxing. The ship (“Victoria” aka “Ra I”) looks a bit outdated, but the crew members were nice (though they mostly spoke little English), the food was good, and the cabin pretty comfortable. WiFi was a major issue, as it was not working most of the times and it was unreliable when it was indeed “working.” So bring a book or two to enjoy on the sun deck while taking in the breathtaking sunsets. I can’t rate it 5 stars because of the tours that were included in the package, with some of them requiring an early wake up call just to be done by lunchtime and without anything else to do for the rest of the day. But the worst part were the tour guides… a literal torture (we had 4 of them over 8 days). None of them spoke good English, they mostly gave us basic information, they were very pushy in regard to reviews and tips, and some of them were shady about money (one kept asking us to give him cash so we could skip the line… no one was in line to buy tickets). And the tour of Abu Simbel was shameful: 4 hours to get there, 4 hours to get back… and only 20 minutes inside the most beautiful of all Egyptian temples. Make sure to communicate with the agency so they can accommodate your interests. Maybe we were just unlucky, but the selection of the guides needs some improvement. I would recommend this package based on the fair price and the overall experience. Read more Written January 16, 2024

The drive there was an interesting insight through the desert and small farms closer to Luxor. Mimo,our tour guide was excellent. His insights into all of the temples that we visited were explained very clearly. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. 100%. It was a long day with lots of information taken in,so be sure to bring plenty of extra snacks and water. Be prepared for the constant hustle from locals along the way. If they ask where you're from, just say 'the moon', and they'll leave you alone! (It worked for us every time!🙂) Read more Written January 12, 2024

From Russia, Elaborate Tales of Fake Journalists

As the Ukraine war grinds on, the Kremlin has created increasingly complex fabrications online to discredit Ukraine’s leader and undercut aid. Some have a Hollywood-style plot twist.

A young man calling himself Mohamed al-Alawi appeared in a YouTube video in August. He described himself as an investigative journalist in Egypt with a big scoop: The mother-in-law of Ukraine’s president had purchased a villa near Angelina Jolie’s in El Gouna, a resort town on the Red Sea.

The story, it turned out, was not true. Ukraine denied it, and the owner of the villa refuted it. Also disconnected from reality: Alawi’s claim to being a journalist.

Still, his story caromed through social media and news outlets from Egypt to Nigeria and ultimately to Russia — which, according to researchers, is where the story all began.

The story seemed to fade, but not for long. Four months later, two new videos appeared on YouTube. They said Mohamed al-Alawi had been beaten to death in Hurghada, a town about 20 miles south of El Gouna. The suspected killers, according to the videos: Ukraine’s secret service agents.

These claims were no more factual than the first, but they gave new life to the old lie. Another round of posts and news reports ultimately reached millions of internet users around the world, elevating the narrative so much that it was even echoed by members of the U.S. Congress while debating continued military assistance to Ukraine.

Ever since its forces invaded two years ago , Russia has unleashed a torrent of disinformation to try to discredit Ukraine’s leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, and undermine the country’s support in the West.

This saga, though, introduced a new gambit: a protracted and elaborately constructed narrative built online around a fictitious character and embellished with seemingly realistic detail and a plot twist worthy of Netflix.

“They never brought back a character before,” said Darren Linvill, a professor and director of the Media Forensics Hub at Clemson University, who has extensively studied Russian disinformation.

The campaign shows how deftly Russia’s information warriors have shifted to new tactics and targets as the war in Ukraine has dragged on, just as Russian forces on the ground in Ukraine have adjusted tactics after devastating battlefield losses.

Groups with ties to the Kremlin continue to float new narratives when old ones fail to stick or grow stale, using fake or altered videos or recordings and finding or creating new outlets to spread disinformation, including ones purporting to be American news sites .

A video appeared on TikTok last month claiming to show a Ukrainian doctor working for Pfizer accusing the company of conducting unlawful tests on children. On the social network X, a man claiming to be an associate producer for Paramount Pictures spun a tale about a Hollywood biopic on Mr. Zelensky’s life.

The tale attributed to Mohamed al-Alawi is not even the only baseless allegation that Mr. Zelensky had secretly purchased properties abroad using Western financial assistance. Other versions — each seemingly tailored for a specific geographic audience — have detailed a mansion in Vero Beach, Fla., and a retreat in Germany once used by Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda.

The Russians have “demonstrated adaptability through the war on Ukraine,” Microsoft wrote in a recent report that disclosed Russia’s fraudulent use of recorded messages by famous actors and celebrities on the Cameo app to try to smear Mr. Zelensky as a drug addict.

Even when debunked, fabrications like these have proved exceedingly difficult to extinguish entirely.

YouTube took down the initial video of the character Mohamed al-Alawi, linking it to two other accounts that had previously violated the company’s policies. The accusation still circulates, however, especially on platforms, like X and Telegram, that experts say do little to block accounts generating inauthentic or automated activity. Some of the posts about the video appear to have used text or audio created with artificial intelligence tools; many are amplified by networks of bots intended to create the impression that the content is popular.

What links the narratives to Russia is not only the content disparaging Ukraine but also the networks that circulate them. They include news outlets and social media accounts that private and government researchers have linked to previous Kremlin campaigns.

“They’re trolling for a susceptible (and seemingly abundant) slice of citizens who amplify their garbage enough to muddy the waters of our discourse, and from there our policies,” said Rita Katz, the director of the SITE Intelligence Group, an American company that tracks extremist activity online and investigated the false claims about the villa.

The Making of a Fake Journalist

The video first appeared on Aug. 20 on a newly created YouTube account that had no previous activity and almost no followers, according to the Institute of Strategic Dialogue, a global nonprofit research organization in London, which traced the video’s spread.

The man appeared in a poorly lit room reading from his computer screen, which was reflected in his thick glasses. He appeared to be a real person, but it has not been possible to verify his actual identity. No one by the name of Mohamed al-Alawi appears to have produced any previous articles or videos, as would be expected of a journalist. According to ActiveFence, an internet security company, the character has no educational or work history, and no network of friends or social connections online.

The video, though, showed what purported to be photographs of a purchase contract and of the villa itself, creating a veneer of authenticity for credulous viewers. The property is, in fact, part of a resort owned by Orascom Development, whose website highlights El Gouna’s “year-round sunshine, shimmering lagoons, sandy beaches and azure waters.”

An article about the video’s claim appeared two days later as a paid advertisement, or branded content, on Punch, a news outlet in Nigeria, as well as three other Nigerian websites that aggregate news and entertainment content.

The article had the byline of Arthur Nkono, who according to internet searches does not appear to have written any other articles. The article quoted a political scientist, Abdrulrahman Alabassy, who likewise appears not to exist except in accounts linking the villa to the corrupt use of Western financial aid to Ukraine. (Punch, which later removed the post, did not respond to requests for comment.)

A day later, the claim made its first appearance on X in a post by Sonja van den Ende, an activist in the Netherlands, whose articles have previously appeared on propaganda outlets linked to the Russian government, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. (She also served as an election observer in an occupied territory of Ukraine during Russian parliamentary elections in September.)

Within days, reports about the villa appeared on X in French and Romanian, and in English on three different Reddit forums.

According to Roberta Duffield, director of intelligence for Blackbird.AI, an internet security company, nearly 29 percent of the accounts amplifying the reports appeared to be inauthentic bots, an unusually high number that would normally indicate a coordinated campaign.

Eight days after the video appeared, Russia state television networks like Channel One, Rossiya 24 and RT (in Arabic and German) reported it as a major revelation uncovered by a renowned Egyptian investigative journalist.

The story seemed to stall there. Naguib Sawiris, the scion of the Egyptian family that owned the development, curtly denied the sale in a reply on X.

And no more was heard from or about the character called Mohamed al-Alawi — until late December.

That was when two new videos emerged on a YouTube channel called “Egypt News,” claiming that he was dead.

The channel had been created the day before. One video showed a man identified as Alawi’s brother, Ahmed, answering questions from another man.

The police, he said, told him that they suspected his brother had been beaten to death by “Ukrainian special forces who acted on behalf of President Zelensky or another high-ranking official.”

He spoke with his hand cupped over his face to obscure his identity. The other video showed what was said to be the site of an attack, though the images were indistinct. “I can’t tell you anything else,” he said in the video, which YouTube later removed. “I’m afraid for my family.”

The video also tried to explain away some of the obvious holes in the initial story, including why there was no evidence online of Alawi’s previous work. “It was his first big assignment,” the man said.

The new episode spread as the first video had. A day later, an article about the death appeared on an obscure website created last year called El Mostaqbal, a name similar to but unrelated to the actual news organization in Lebanon.

“A reporter who announced that Zelensky’s mother-in-law brought a luxury villa has died under mysterious circumstances,” the headline read. Other reports that followed dropped any uncertainty and began referring to his “murder.”

In fact, Egypt’s Ministry of the Interior said there were no reports or evidence that anyone resembling the man in the video had been “subjected to harm.” The statement went on to note that the property itself had not been sold.

Still, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, posts about the supposed killing were viewed a million times on X on Dec. 25.

It also appeared on the website of the Middle East Monitor, or MEMO, operated by a well-known nonprofit organization in London and financed by the government of Qatar. A journalist who once reported from Moscow for The Telegraph of London, Ben Aris, cited it at length on the platform, though, when challenged, he said he had just made note of the rumor. “I don’t have time to check all this stuff myself,” he wrote.

It appeared in English on a site, Clear Story News, that Mr. Linvill of Clemson’s Media Forensics Hub had previously linked to Russia’s disinformation efforts. (The site lists no contact information)

Mr. Linvill described the process as a form of “narrative laundering” — moving false claims from unknown or not credible sources to ones that, to the unwitting at least, seem more legitimate.

More Elaborate Narratives

The Institute for Strategic Dialogue studied three other complex narratives about Ukraine, as well.

One featured a French journalist who claimed that the son of George Soros — a regular target of Russian and far-right political attacks — had secretly acquired land for a toxic waste dump in Ukraine. An unnamed doctor in Africa said in another that an American medical charity, the Global Surgical and Medical Support Group, was harvesting the organs of wounded Ukrainian soldiers for transplants for NATO officers.

Then there was the case of a man calling himself Shahzad Nasir, whose profile on X identifies him as a journalist with Emirates 24/7, an English-language news outlet in Dubai, though he has no apparent bylines on the site.

In November, he claimed that cronies of Mr. Zelensky bought two yachts — Lucky Me and My Legacy — for $75 million. His evidence, like Mohamed al-Alawi’s, includes photographs of the vessels and purported purchase agreements.

In fact, as the BBC documented in December, the yachts had not been purchased and remained for sale. Despite numerous efforts by fact checkers to dispel it as rumor, the claim circulated extensively.

Last month, the character Nasir reappeared in another video. This time he had a new version of the tale, claiming that the purchases had been scuttled after he exposed the secret deal.

The ramifications of these campaigns are difficult to measure precisely. There are signs, though, that they resonate even when proved false.

Senator J.D. Vance, a Republican of Ohio and an outspoken critic of Ukraine aid, seemed to embrace the claim in December during an interview on “War Room,” the podcast hosted by Stephen K. Bannon, the onetime adviser to former President Donald J. Trump.

“There are people who would cut Social Security — throw our grandparents into poverty — why?” Mr. Vance said. “So that one of Zelensky’s ministers can buy a bigger yacht?”

That prompted a public rebuke this month from a Republican colleague, Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who ridiculed those who repeat unproven allegations.

“They’ve heard somebody say that if we pass this bill, that we’re all going to go ride to Kyiv with buckets full of money and let oligarchs buy yachts!” he said of critics of the assistance to Ukraine, in what he later called a reference to Mr. Vance’s comments. “I wonder how the spouses of the estimated 25,000 soldiers in Ukraine who have died feel about that? I mean, really, guys?”

Our Coverage of the War in Ukraine

News and Analysis

A day after securing a new term in a rubber-stamp presidential election, President Vladimir Putin of Russia said he would not back down in Russia’s war against Ukraine .

With additional American aid still in doubt, Lloyd Austin, the U.S. defense secretary, called for “creative, adaptable and sustainable ways” to continue arming Ukraine  and praised European allies who were trying to bolster Kyiv’s military.

Ukraine fired a volley of exploding drones  at Moscow and other targets on the final day of Russia’s presidential vote, the local authorities said, continuing a flurry of attacks timed for the election .

Elaborate Tales: As the Ukraine war grinds on, the Kremlin has created increasingly complex fabrications online  to discredit Ukraine’s leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, and undermine the country’s support in the West.

Targeting Russia’s Oil Industry: With its army short of ammunition and troops to break the deadlock on the battlefield, Kyiv has increasingly taken the fight beyond the Ukrainian border, attacking oil infrastructure deep in Russian territory .

Electronic Warfare: Drones have become a critical weapon for both Russia and Ukraine. But Moscow’s capability to overpower Ukrainian signals  by broadcasting on the same frequencies at higher power is putting Kyiv at a disadvantage.
