Kitesurfing Locations
In the United Arab Emirates, there are a variety of locations to kitesurf that cater to different skill levels and meet unique needs. The team at Kite N’ Surf knows each and every one of these locations like the back of their hands, so if you are looking for some in-depth advice on where to go, feel free to contact us or stop by our kite surfing shop in Dubai.
Disclaimer: kitesurfing is a sport that will have you hooked from day one, making you want to try every one of the locations near you. Our advice is to prepare your families for some beautiful road trips and lots of fun! You could even get them to try some lessons too so they can share in the excitement with you.
Before you embark on these kitesurfing trips, there is a crucial bit of advice we want to give you: get yourself a kitesurfing travel bag to avoid excess baggage fees. These bags are made by kitesurfing companies but feature the letters “GOLF” on the luggage to take advantage of airline policies that do not charge extra for golf clubs. Hush-hush now, this can be our little secret…
Kitesurfing at Kite beach Dubai
Fazza beach, more commonly known as Kite Beach, is situated just 2km from the majestic Burj Al Arab. This spot is excellent for the windsurfers and kitesurfers among you that are at a more advanced level with its super fun wind-blown waves.
This spot is not particularly friendly for entry-level kitesurfers owing to the predominantly onshore wind direction and deep waters, so do take care when deciding to go out. If you find the spot is too advanced for you, that doesn’t mean you have to leave. It is a perfect spot to simply sit back and watch kitesurfers out on a show and has a variety of play areas for the kiddies, all with the beautiful background of the Burj Al Arab to complete the perfect beach day.
Kitesurfing at Nessnass beach Dubai
NessNass beach, also known as Sunset Beach or Kitesurf beach, is located in Jumeirah just behind Sunset Mall.
This is the ideal all-around spot, featuring a curved bay that makes it suitable for all wind directions, excluding OFFSHORE of course.
This is a spot that provides excellent conditions for all kitesurfers, where the more advanced among us can head out of the bay to avoid the traffic, beginners can enjoy relatively shallow water closer to the bay to improve during their lessons. For this reason, NessNass is the beach where the majority of our kitesurfing lessons are held, and where our shop is located. Come on down to see why this is the place you should learn kitesurfing in Dubai.
Kitesurfing at Yas island kite beach
Up until now, you may have been wondering, is Dubai the only place in the UAE where you can kite? The answer is, of course not! Just next door in Abu Dhabi you can find Yas Island beach, also known as Kite Beach Abu Dhabi.
Located just across the street from Ferrari World on Yas Island, this spot provides superb conditions for all ability levels, both windsurfing and kitesurfing alike. The average wind speed is 13 knots in the afternoon, with stronger winds coming through during the winter months. The spot has both shallow and deepwater areas, making it quite a friendly teaching spot that KiteN’Surf along with many other schools.
A very important point you must be aware of though, is the shallow water area is affected by tides, so during low tide, you can only kitesurf in the deepwater area; that is if you want to keep your fins!
Kitesurfing at Kite beach center Umm Al Quwain
Not only can you enjoy water sports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, in Umm Al Quwain you can find the very first kitesurfing school that was established in the UAE. Located on Umm Al Quwain Beach, the Kite Beach Center has direct access to the water and accommodates more than just your kitesurfing needs. Here you can find paddleboarding, kayaking, wakeboarding, and many other water sports activities.
It doesn’t end there. The center also offers fresh juices, coffee, and light meals that you can enjoy in between sessions or even just on a beautiful beach day.
Kitesurfing at Kite Beach Al Gharbiya
Al Gharbia Kite Beach offers a spot that many local watermen know well. Located in Abu Dhabi, it provides the setting for the Al Gharbia Watersports Festival that gets held every year. The spot is perfect for this owing to its consistently good winds, though the festival doesn’t only host kitesurfing. Sports such as paddleboarding, kayaking, and many more also feature here.
