But for a small, budding population in the north coast, using a surfboard and nothing other than the force of the waves has also grown in its appeal. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Whether you\u2019re in the north coast for the summer, or choose to spend the hot summer <\/strong><strong> days on the Red Sea <\/strong>, there\u2019s plenty to keep you busy \u2014 so here\u2019s everything you need to know on how to get started with surfing and kitesurfing in Egypt. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> FOR ASPIRING KITESURFERS- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Over the past decade, kitesurfing has exploded in popularity in Egypt. <\/strong> The calm and shallow waters present along much of the Red Sea coastline, as well as consistently strong wind through most of the year, have made the country a hotspot for kitesurfing enthusiasts around the world and given birth to a burgeoning local scene.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> International competitions also helped put Egypt on the map as a global kitesurfing <\/strong><strong> destination. <\/strong>Back in 2016, we saw one of the biggest kiteboarding competitions make its way to El Gouna, with 65 competitors from 26 countries battling it out at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/espn\/wire?section=gen&id=15031451\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">the World Kiteboarding Championship<\/a>. This year will see local contests <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/10\/24\/the-kitesurfing-competition-that-helped-put-ras-sudr-on-the-map\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">King of the Lagoon<\/a> take place in Ras Sudr in September and Red Bull\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/blue-lagoon-dahab-sinai\/red-bull-winds-of-sinai-%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D8%A8%D9%8F%D9%84-%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%AF%D8%B2-%D8%A7%D9%88%DA%A4-%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%8A\/790977292024568\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Wings of Sinai<\/a> in October in Dahab, according to a Red Bull representative. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> What is kitesurfing, exactly? <\/strong>Kitesurfing isn\u2019t so different from sailing, where you utilize wind power to propel yourself or a vessel forwards. With kitesurfing, you\u2019re using a similar mechanism, but instead of a sail, you have a kite suspended 20 meters in the air and in place of a hull is a thin fiberglass or carbon fiber board. Under sufficient wind conditions, your kite traps air and pulls you forward from a harness attached to your waist. Fixing your body at the right position relative to your kite and board allows you to use that momentum to glide over the water without sinking. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> What to expect from a beginner course: <\/strong>Beginner kitesurfing courses typically run between 8-12 hours, often broken into several sessions over the course of a few days, depending on weather conditions. A typical course will teach you how to maneuver a kite, how to balance on your board and how to safely navigate in the water. Most centers also offer additional coaching options in case you need them. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> When should you do it? <\/strong>As a general rule of thumb, the best time to kitesurf in Egypt is <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ikointl.com\/destination\/kitesurfing-egypt#:~:text=Egypt%20is%20well%2Dknown%20for,destination%2C%20to%20say%20the%20least!\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">between April and October<\/a>, when the wind is strongest and water temperatures are the highest. Other factors like tide schedules will also affect your experience, especially in places where the water is already shallow. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> WHERE TO LEARN- You can kitesurf pretty much anywhere in the Red Sea <\/strong>but conditions at some locations make it far more pleasant and easier to do so. Dahab, Sharm El Sheikh, Ras Sudr and El Gouna are among the most popular locations to kite, but you\u2019ll find kiters and kitesurfing centers to teach you the ropes all along our coastal areas. Some of the best centers are affiliated with international kitesurfing bodies like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ikointl.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">International Kiteboarding Organization (IKO)<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vdws.de\/en\/basic-licence-cards\/kitesurfing\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">VDWS<\/a>, but the affiliation is not required for them to rent gear or teach lessons. Don\u2019t be surprised if you see prices listed in foreign currency; most centers will charge you the EGP equivalent on the day you settle up for your course. Below are some of the best locations, as recommended by avid Egyptian kitesurfers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Less than two hours away from Cairo <\/strong><strong> is IKO-affiliated <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/finskitesurfingkaisokhna\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fins Kitesurfing Center<\/a><\/strong><strong> in Ain <\/strong><strong> Sokhna <\/strong>.

That's because it's relatively close to Cairo and a great place to sharpen your skills without sacrificing your creature comforts. Parties are also common on the weekends, so be prepared to socialize. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soulkitesurfing.com\/kitesurfing\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Eight hour beginner courses<\/a> at Soul will run you EGP 8.7k. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Heading south?

Both centers\u2019 12 hour-long beginner courses will run you about EUR 500. Kite Village\u2019s courses are led by VDWS-certified instructors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> You can find more luxurious arrangements in El Gouna: <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/makanibeachclub.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Makani<\/a> Beach Club in Gouna has one of the most lively and upbeat atmospheres compared to other centers in the Red Sea governorate.

Blue Lagoon\u2019s consistent year round winds and crystal clear lagoon make it less likely you will encounter dry spells while completing your course. But for that same reason it's also one of the most popular stomping grounds for many of the country\u2019s most advanced kitesurfers, making it a challenging spot to maneuver if you\u2019re just starting out. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> If you\u2019re planning on committing and buying your own gear <\/strong>,check out local retailers <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/katanawave.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Katana Wave<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/holix.co\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Holix Watersports<\/a>. New kites range between EGP 16-80k, depending on the size and model. Newer and larger models are typically the most expensive but the brand (and the technology used to construct their kites) also factors into the final price. Boards run from EGP 17-50k and harnesses cost about EGP 6-18k. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> If you\u2019ve caught the bug and want to splurge on an adventure try a liveaboard kite safari. <\/strong>A handful of operators like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/windseekersredsea.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">the Wind Seekers<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.redseaexplorers.com\/dive-themes\/kite-monkey\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Sea Explorers<\/a> organize week-long kitesurfing safaris at sea, where you get to sail between islands and hard-to-reach kitesurfing spots in the Red Sea. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> OVER IN THE NORTH COAST- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> While surfing may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of water sports in <\/strong><strong> Egypt <\/strong>, last summer, Egypt became the 17th African country to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/isasurf.org\/egypt-becomes-111th-national-federation-to-join-international-surfing-association\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">join the ISA<\/a>. Long before then, the Egyptian surfing community had been growing since the late 2000\u2019s, with most coming from along the North Coast (Alexandria and Agami specifically), Egypt\u2019s sole surfing training center and ISA member <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/surfcampegypt\/?hl=en\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Surf Camp<\/a> founder Omar El Sobky told us. The most popular surfing spots in the country are along the North Coast, as it provides sandy beaches and consistent swells (Point Break-speak for a long waves that take a while to dissipate) that attract surfers of all levels during the summer, and higher, more intense waves for more advanced swimmers during the winter according to El Sobky. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Surf Camp\u2019s classes are available during the summer at Hacienda Red and Hacienda White <\/strong>, and you can book your class by DMing their Instagram account two days in advance. A beginner course consists of four hour-long classes, according to El Sobky. The first sessions will familiarize you with the terminology, surfing etiquette, paddle techniques, pop-up stances, and turning practice, before moving you to the lagoon for practice sessions. The second session will see you hit the water, learn safe sea entry, advance your paddling techniques, practice your pop-ups, and learn about water safety, while the third will familiarize you with board types, wave formations and balance skills, El Sobky said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Your last introductory session lets you practice these skills independently <\/strong>, and you can have as many practice sessions as you like with your instructors once you\u2019ve completed the course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> THE PRICE TAG- <\/strong>The full beginner course costs EGP 4.2k to complete, while the practice sessions cost EGP 500 per session for adults, and EGP 600 for kids. The camp does not currently accept card payments, so make sure you have money on you. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> SURFING EQUIPMENT- <\/strong>When selecting a surfboard, it's important to consider weight limits, as different boards are designed to accommodate specific weight ranges (ranging from 40kg to 100kg). In addition to a suitable board, surfers also need to invest in a wetsuit, board wax, a board leash, and board fins. You can find this equipment at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.decathlon.eg\/en\/4831-surfing\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Decathlon<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\"

AT THE MOVIES- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Meg 2: The Trench ( <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mdgZ4maszHY\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">watch trailer, runtime: 3:03<\/a><\/strong><strong> ), is an absurdly fun, <\/strong><strong> amplified <\/strong><strong> version of its first installment. <\/strong>Statham reprises his role as Jonas Taylor, whose job title seems to have officially become reluctant hero rather than deep-sea diver. In this installment, our hero stumbles upon a mining operation in the middle of the ocean and has to confront the real evil: Humans. The premise isn\u2019t very different from the first movie (man vs nature, and man vs corporate greed), so instead of the movie becoming an exercise in originality, it becomes an exercise in execution. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Director Ben Wheatley\u2019s focus on the plot\u2019s absurdity paves the way for unadulterated <\/strong><strong> entertainment <\/strong>, though we must note: the film is facing character assassination by critics, receiving a mere 28% critics\u2019 score on Rotten Tomatoes. <strong> Our take: <\/strong>The cast didn\u2019t seem like they were having as much fun as we expected them to, which took away a bit of the amusement But moments of meta-parody and fun action sequences did make up for the punchy one-liner-dominant script. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> WHERE TO WATCH- <\/strong> You can find Meg 2: The Trench in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/egy.voxcinemas.com\/movies\/meg-2-the-trench\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">VOX theaters<\/a> in City Center Almaza and Mall of Egypt, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.festivalcitymallcairo.com\/home\/whats-inside\/entertainment\/Galaxy+Cinema\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Cairo Festival City<\/a> cinema, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.citystars-heliopolis.com.eg\/en\/cinema\/stars-cinema\/movie\/meg-2-the-trench-3d\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Citystars<\/a> cinema.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> 3alzero <\/strong>(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a_PJid0zlnQ\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">watch trailer, runtime: 2:44<\/a>) <strong> is a Mohamed Ramadan movie with more heart <\/strong><strong> than usual. <\/strong>Don\u2019t be fooled, it is still very much a typical Mohamed Ramadan movie in every sense, but those looking for more substance will find it. Ramadan\u2019s Hamza is the frontman and lead singer-slash-DJ of a Mahraganat band. Single-handedly raising his son after his wife\u2019s passing is made even more challenging when his son is diagnosed with leukemia, his only chance at survival being an impossibly expensive surgery. To save his son, Hamza turns to the organ trafficking trade, hoping to make enough money for his son\u2019s operation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> What could\u2019ve been an emotional exploration of the inaccessibility of healthcare <\/strong><strong> becomes the actor\u2019s typical action flick <\/strong>, though the seasoned cast does elevate the seriousness of the film. DramatistsNelly Karim and Sherif Salama\u2019s performances were quite strong, and helped make up for Ramadan\u2019s seemingly out-of-place shirtless scenes. On the bright side, it\u2019s not difficult to emotionally invest in the plot and grow fond of Ramadan\u2019s on-screen sonYoussef (played by Monzer Mahran), though their dynamic doesn\u2019t differ much from Ramadan\u2019s with his on-screen half-brother in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/5572f3de-95a3-4507-8977-7d11f0fdc66b\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Harley<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> The subject matter landed the movie and its writer in hot water <\/strong>, with one lawyer calling for its removal from Egyptian theaters (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=1260599921486606\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">watch, runtime: 1:16<\/a>).

Moving beyond speculation, Bower lends this royal saga \u2014 marred with gossip and hearsay \u2014 a new allure through his skills as an investigative biographer as he digs through documents, interviews, and unveils a gripping retelling of stories that were little known before. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT- Bower did face backlash over alleged misleading information <\/strong>, though, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/tom-bower-meghan-markle-revenge-book-faces-criticism-2022-7\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Insider<\/a> reported.

The Angus beef brisket is an easy favorite; the meat is succulent, juicy and is complemented with fresh coleslaw. The Bad Jones Sandwich is another great pick, especially for lovers of caramelized onion. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> DISCLAIMER- <\/strong> Just note that they definitely deliver in Zamalek but may have limited delivery services to certain areas, according to Talabat\u2019s delivery network. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> ?

Larian Studios now presents this year\u2019s second D&D offering, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C2ca6paV7i0\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">watch trailer, runtime: 1:46<\/a>). If you\u2019ve never heard of the franchise and are surprised to hear that it\u2019s been around enough for a third installment, don\u2019t worry \u2014 you\u2019re not out of the loop. The preceding Baldur\u2019s Gate 2 came out <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23814574\/dont-play-baldurs-gate-2-2023-i-warned-you\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">23 years ago<\/a>, to little success. But Larian Studios marks DnD\u2019s triumphant return to the world of video games, captivating players with a compelling story of fellowship, betrayal, and the allure of absolute power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Set in the in-game year of 1492 DR <\/strong>, the game follows the protagonist, who finds themselves deliberately infected by an insidious mind-flayer parasite. As the parasite awakens mysterious abilities inside of you, you must choose whether to resist and vanquish the darkness, or to embrace its corruption and become the ultimate evil. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> The integration of the tabletop gameplay into the video game seemed like an impossible <\/strong><strong> feat <\/strong>, which is why the franchise remained untouched for so long, but Larian Studios have cracked the code. The tabletop gameplay is masterfully woven into the mechanics of the video game, immersing early fans in a virtual world that closely resembles the thrill and complexity of real D&D sessions with friends. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> The reported visual glitches are minor, and don\u2019t impact the game\u2019s otherwise stunning <\/strong><strong> style <\/strong>, its beautiful hyperrealism likened to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/zelda.nintendo.com\/tears-of-the-kingdom\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/a>. However, it is worth noting that the level progression might feel stingy to seasoned D&D players, and you might still find yourself as a Level Four player <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/baldurs-gate-3-review-in-progress\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">20 hours into the game<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> \u231b Hours of gameplay: <\/strong> Estimated at 100 hours<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> ?
