general information

One of several quality left hand points that work along this most ancient of coastlines. Tricky offroad access required rewarding the surfer with splendid isolation . Harmonthep is a reef / sand / point setup all rolled into one. The element that happens to be working will be dependent on the swell size and direction. A solid NW swell will yield best results typically.

It doesent matter how modern your board is, there is something timeless about exiting the surf in Egypt and walking onto the sand...a camel merchant smoking some indescibable substance puffing slowly as you pass by.

May Isis look over you young traveller...
