Another feature of Dahab's weather is the wind, which makes for excellent Wind Surfing and Kite Surfing. There are usually between 20 - 25 days a month of good winds for these sports. In Summer the wind makes a refreshing change from the heat of the sun. In winter the wind can make it seem a little cooler. But there are many places to escape from the wind and still enjoy lots of winter sun.
The most important thing to remember with the wind in Dahab that is seems to go in a cycle with the moon. At full moon the wind gets usually strong, dropping usually to no wind at wanning moon to new moon.
When the new moon comes the wind tends to pick up again for a few days and then may drop a little towards new moon. In the coming weeks we will be adding more detailed information about Dahab's Wind factors to the web site especially for Wind and Kite Surfers.
