Soho Square Bars

Soho Square is an open-air entertainment complex in the Om El Seid district of Sharm El Sheikh, in Egypt's South Sinai Governorate, set a short drive uphill from Naama Bay. Designed as a pedestrian square with a central stage and fountain, it groups bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, a bowling alley and other leisure venues around a courtyard, which makes it a convenient evening stop for visitors who want several options in one place. The bars on the square draw a broad crowd, including holidaymakers, families early in the evening, couples and groups of friends in their twenties to forties, along with some Egyptian and Russian-speaking visitors. Dress is resort casual, with smart-casual preferred for later hours. The atmosphere is lively and festive, with music drifting between venues, and the square's open layout means patrons can choose a bar, then move to another without leaving the complex. Music depends on the venue: DJ-led pop and dance tracks, themed nights and occasional live performances are all common, while the square's own stage may host shows or events during the high season. The drinks programme includes cocktails, spirits, beer such as Stella and Sakara, wine and soft drinks, and many venues add shisha or food. The $$ price range reflects mid-priced resort pricing, usually lower than the luxury hotel lounges but with a service charge on top. Opening hours are listed as evenings to 02:00, and the busiest period is after 21:00, particularly on weekends and in the cooler months from October to April. There is no square-wide cover charge, and entry is free; individual venues may charge for special events or ticketed shows. Reservations are rarely needed, apart from larger groups at restaurants or event nights. Taxis are the practical way to arrive and leave, since Soho Square is not within easy walking distance of the Naama Bay promenade, and agreeing the fare or using the meter beforehand is wise. Visitors should check the individual venue hours, as these vary.
