Soho Square

Soho Square is a large pedestrian entertainment complex in the Hadaba and Om El Seid area of Sharm El Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt. Built as a self-contained leisure district, it combines restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and event spaces around open plazas, and it is one of the main evening destinations in the resort. Entry to the square is free, with individual attractions and rides charged separately. Visitors typically find a choice of international and Egyptian restaurants, shisha terraces, a fountain show with music and lights, an ice rink, a children's play area, a bowling or amusement area, and a performance space used for concerts, dance shows and festival nights. The architecture is themed, with lanterns, arcades and ornamental facades that glow at night. A visit usually lasts two to four hours: arriving around sunset for an early dinner, watching the fountain display and wandering the shops, then staying for a live show or the nightlife. The complex opens in the evening, roughly 17:00 to 02:00, and the busiest period is from about 20:00 to midnight, especially at weekends and during holidays, when queues form for the ice rink and rides. Families often visit earlier in the evening, when the atmosphere is calmer. The best vantage points for photographs are the central plaza facing the fountains and the upper walkways around the square. A taxi from Naama Bay costs about EGP 60-120. Visitors should check the show schedule and ice rink hours on the day, bring light layers because the rink and indoor venues can be cool, and keep an eye on belongings in crowds. Prices for food and rides vary, so compare menus before sitting down.
