Deeper Dive into Sharm El Sheikh’s Must-See Locations

Soho Square: Modern Entertainment Hub

Soho Square is the pulse of modern Sharm El Sheikh. Beyond the mesmerizing illuminated fountain display (which runs multiple times every evening), this area features high-end dining, ice skating, and various entertainment options. It’s an excellent place to enjoy a sophisticated evening atmosphere.

The Old Market (El Souq): A Taste of Tradition

Step away from the resorts and into the bustling Old Market. This area offers a stark contrast to the modern Sinai hotels. Haggle for spices, traditional Egyptian cotton, leather goods, and local jewelry. Don’t miss trying some fresh local juices or traditional street food while navigating the vibrant promenade.

Al Sahaba Mosque: Architectural Grandeur

The Al Sahaba Mosque is not just a place of worship; it is an architectural masterpiece blending Fatimid and Mamluk styles. Its towering minarets and beautifully illuminated exterior make it a significant visual landmark, especially when viewed during the golden hour.

Farsha Café: Panoramic Views and Relaxation

Perched high above the sea, Farsha Café offers arguably the best sunset views in Sharm El Sheikh. Settle onto traditional floor cushions, sip authentic Egyptian tea or shisha, and enjoy the panoramic vista of the coast. It’s the perfect spot for reflection after a day of exploration.
