Happy-Kite Posted December 7, 2013 Report Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Happy Kite Dahab school resumed the kite-safari trips to Nabq, as this National preserve was closed after the July revolution. Nabq is a place of amazing natural beauty with several connecting lagoons of a different depth and with wonderful possibility to cruise between them. Here you can find the mangrove trees - the bushes that are unique for this latitude, which inhabited salted Red Sea as they have rare capability of desalinating water for their need. Nabq is most northern place on planet where you can find mangroves, normally they grow on equator. The whole lagoon is surrounded with bright green bushes and offers perfect flat water for riding. It is also shallow all the way down and sideways and with white sand ash like water becomes amazingly tourquise. At the end of the lagoon at the entrance to high seas you can see remainders of the ship wreck on the closest reef. This ship named after Maria Schroeder was built in 1920 in Norway and later sold to Humburg fleet and renamed after famouse German actress. It was a steam ship, with cruising speed of 11.5 knots which grounded and sank in waters of Nabq on her way from Aqaba to Western Germany. On surface of the reef, the other parts sank in the depth of 24 meters. Protected park of Nabq – is truly unique place for relaxation and perfectly suits kitesurfing. We with pleasure will organize a few more of such kite safari’s to Nabq, address us before your trip to Dahab so we could plan the dates.
