About

SOHO Square Sharm El Sheikh is a polished evening entertainment district near Sharks Bay, designed for strolling, dining, and easy after-dark plans. It is in Sharm El Sheikh, not Hurghada, so travellers based in Hurghada should treat it as a separate Red Sea resort visit rather than a quick local outing.

The square feels different from Egypt’s older markets and waterfront promenades. Expect clean paved walkways, bright shopfronts, café terraces, music drifting across the plaza, and the central fountain area that becomes a natural meeting point after sunset. It suits travellers who want a relaxed night out without negotiating a crowded bazaar or planning a full excursion.

Most visitors come for dinner, coffee, casual shopping, and family-friendly entertainment. Depending on the season and venue schedules, you may find activities such as bowling, ice skating, kids’ play areas, live performances, or screen-based entertainment. Availability can change, so check directly with your hotel concierge or the venue before promising children a specific activity.

SOHO Square works best as an evening stop after a beach day, boat trip, or diving plan. Dress is casual resort wear, but a light layer can be useful in cooler months when the evening breeze picks up. If you prefer a slower start, arrive before the peak dinner rush, walk the square once, choose where you want to sit, then stay for the atmosphere as the lights come on.

For travellers comparing Red Sea nightlife, SOHO Square is more controlled and resort-style than many local promenades. If you are staying on the other side of the coast, Hurghada’s marina scene has a different feel, with yachts, waterfront restaurants, and a broader city-resort mix. For a trip focused around Sinai beaches and diving, browse Sharm El Sheikh holiday ideas before fixing your route.

Practical tips to make the most of your visit.

What to wear

Wear comfortable resort-casual clothing and shoes suitable for walking on paved surfaces. In warmer months, light breathable clothes are best; in cooler months, bring a light jacket or shawl for the evening breeze. Swimwear alone is not ideal for restaurants or cafés.
