Winter’s coming and now’s the time that many start to ponder which windsurfing destination to head for in a bid to escape Jack Frost’s icy grip.

Although the political strife of the region has been widely reported, Dahab, Egypt, is still a good (and now quiet) choice of location for a windsurfing trip. Miles away from all the trouble in Cairo, windsurfing in Dahab offers sailors perfect flat water, consistent breeze (even in winter), a cheap as chips lifestyle once on the ground and the locals are super friendly.
