If you're a kitesurfer familiar with kitesurfing in Egypt, then I'm sure you've heard about El Gouna. But have you ever heard of Seahorse Bay? Seahorse Bay is a small area situated between El Gouna and Hurghada. The moment we arrived there I realised I could not have dreamt up a better spot.
"Home Sweet Home" - it's a saying that warms the heart. It's what comes to mind when thinking of your own home, your parents or grandparents home.

It's no wonder the hotel is called Sweet Home!

"It takes some time to get used to changing clothes outside in 0C..." - Marko Marjamaa I've never been a winter person.
