Kitesurfing
In Abu Dhabi, however, there are two main kiting beaches close to the city, one on Yas Island and another at Al Dabayyah, which is a half hour drive west towards Mirfa; although it should be pointed out that neither of these locations boast facilities and lifeguards so kitesurfing is always done at your own risk. A few hours further west, near Mirfa for example, there are other kiting beaches.
In Oman, the best kitsurfing spot is off Masirah Island; contact kiteboarding-oman.com to arrange a trip there. A lesson in kite surfing is a two step process and it’s required that you take a few lessons on land to learn the basic methods of controlling a kite. Then, when your instructor feels you are ready, you’ll gradually move into the water and eventually onto a board.
