Camp Neom (Gulf Kitesurfing Paradise)

Operates as a periodic camp/event ('Camp Neom') rather than a permanent year-round school; NEOM itself has very limited independently confirmed kite-school infrastructure as of 2026 (its flagship watersports venue, H&S Watersports, is actually based in Tala Bay, Aqaba, Jordan and only offers a NEOM-employee discount, not an on-site NEOM operation).

How this is modelled

Wind on the beach

The angle is not recorded

The spot record does not say whether the wind comes in onshore, offshore or across the beach. Ask the school before you rig.

What the spot record warns about

  • Shallow coral reef sections common along this coastlineCoral reefs and coral aggregations line the Sharma and Gulf of Aqaba coast: do not walk, drag gear or crash a kite on reef.
  • Remote area with limited established kite infrastructure outside event periods
  • Access tied to NEOM's still-developing tourism logisticsRemote, developing NEOM area with little public kite infrastructure on record outside event periods.
  • Tidal range can materially change lagoon depth and expose shallow sections.
