Soma Bay's not cheap. But you do get what you pay for. There's not a lot of kiteclubs that offer the kind of facilities that they do. If you can be happy with less, there's for sure other clubs around that'll be happy with less too. As for the actual price, when I went this summer I paid about 90€ f...
We went to Soma Bay last June. Staid at the The Cascades hotel. Not cheap, but the food and service are the best I've had in Egypt, by far. There's a daily, free shuttle to the 7bft kitehouse.

Just saw some of the stuff last week in Egypt. It seems that white is the new black for Naish in 2011. Both the Momentum and the Thorn go back to a mainly white colour scheme for the top.
