SOHO Square

SOHO Square is Sharm el Sheikh’s most elegant open-air entertainment and dining destination, a carefully landscaped complex set around a central square fountain that creates a pleasantly sophisticated atmosphere distinct from the more commercial entertainment strips of Na’ama Bay. Located in the upscale Hadaba district, SOHO Square caters to visitors seeking quality dining, gentle evening entertainment, and attractive surroundings in a setting that feels genuinely designed rather than haphazardly accumulated.

The square hosts an impressive variety of restaurants representing international cuisines — from Italian and Asian fusion to traditional Egyptian grills — alongside a live music stage where performances range from classical Arabic music to international pop and jazz, typically beginning in the early evening and continuing past midnight. The ice-skating rink is one of Sharm el Sheikh’s most unexpected attractions, operating year-round inside the complex despite the desert heat outside.

A small but well-maintained botanical area with exotic plants provides a pleasant backdrop for evening strolling, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly without sacrificing sophistication. Shopping at SOHO Square leans toward quality over quantity, with boutiques carrying Egyptian crafts, jewelry, and branded goods rather than the mass-market souvenirs of the Old Market. The complex is particularly popular for special occasion dining and celebrations. For travelers based anywhere in Sharm el Sheikh, SOHO Square represents the resort city at its most polished and convivial.
