El Gouna in March

When to go

The March guide to El Gouna outlines the region’s weather, sea temperature, and prevailing northwest wind that makes it a kite‑surfing hotspot. It lists the best kite centers, land‑based activities, and past events that give color to the month. Whether you’re a seasoned windsurfer, a family exploring the Red Sea, or a curious traveler, the guide shows what you can expect on the sand, sea, and streets in March.

March brings about 25 °C days, 20.7 °C sea, and 15 kn peak wind from the northwest, giving a 71 % chance of 12 kn+ wind. Take advantage of day‑use kite sessions at DUOTONE or KBC, bring gear if you prefer, and finish with a desert motocross or a 45‑minute aerial tour from Sharm Air.
