    What's the story

    Sandboarding in the Egyptian deserts offers an exhilarating experience that combines the thrill of surfing with the majestic beauty of vast, golden landscapes.

    This adventure sport is gaining popularity among tourists seeking unique experiences beyond the historical and cultural exploration of Egypt.

    The activity involves descending dunes on a board, similar to snowboarding, providing an unforgettable adrenaline rush amidst ancient surroundings.

    Location

    Choosing your desert adventure spot

    Egypt's deserts are perfect for sandboarding, especially the Great Sand Sea near Siwa Oasis and Aswan's dunes.

    The Great Sand Sea has vast, unspoiled dunes for all levels, while Aswan offers a rugged landscape with varied slopes for those seeking challenges.

    Both spots feature stunning views and provide unique sandboarding experiences, making them ideal destinations for this thrilling desert adventure.

    Preparing for your sandboarding trip

    While some might think special equipment is needed, sandboarding requires minimal gear.

    Most importantly, you'll need a sandboard, which can be rented from local vendors near popular sandboarding spots.

    It's also recommended to wear light clothing that covers your skin to protect against the sun and sand abrasions.

    Sunglasses and sunscreen are must-haves to shield yourself from intense sun rays.

    Tips

    Making the most out of your experience

    To make the most of sandboarding in Egypt, go early or late to dodge the intense heat.

    Newcomers should try smaller dunes first to learn the basics of sand versus other surfaces.

    Adhere to local rules and consider an instructor for a safer, more enjoyable first experience.

    Their knowledge is invaluable for both safety and fun.
