What to do in IBI & Friends? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the IBI & Friends can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than IBI & Friends welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

Once again, I had a fantastic week at ibiandfriends in Egypt. The staff went above and beyond to provide excellent service, the meals were of high quality and comparable to European standards, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. It was the perfect setting for a kitesurfing vacation. What sets this place apart is the exceptional service provided by the boys who not only fetch and prepare the equipment but also take care of cleaning and storing it afterwards. This is what makes this location truly special. Keep up the great work!

We had an amazing week at Ibi with our friends. The wind conditions were perfect every day, and the people were also fantastic. To top it off, the kitchen was excellent, which is crucial after a tiring day of kite surfing. The only downside was the presence of corals, but if they weren't there, it would be an ideal kite shop. The kite surfing instructors were experienced and friendly. They provided us with new kites and equipment. Overall, we would rate our experience 5 out of 5 stars.

I had such a fantastic experience at the beach. The people there were incredibly friendly, including the host, instructors, and even the other guests. The food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was simply wonderful. The only downside was the pillows. I kindly suggest that you consider purchasing new ones. I will definitely be returning in the future, and I might just bring my own pillow next time.

Seahorse Bay is an excellent Kitesurf spot that offers ideal conditions for all levels of skill. The staff is incredibly friendly, creating a great atmosphere. It's worth noting that they have acquired new equipment this year (2018), which is a positive development. It's advisable to have insurance for the rental equipment to avoid any potential issues. The only drawback is the high price of drinking water, particularly in such hot conditions. Water shouldn't be that expensive when it's necessary to stay hydrated. Apart from that, everything else was fantastic, and I highly recommend this place to anyone considering it!
