What Is SOHO Square?

SOHO Square is an entertainment and lifestyle area in Sharm El Sheikh with restaurants, cafés, shops and a range of leisure activities.

The area is associated with the wider White Knight Bay and Sharks Bay resort zone, making it particularly convenient for visitors staying nearby.

Where Is SOHO Square in Sharm El Sheikh?

Why Visit SOHO Square?

SOHO Square is useful when you want an evening away from your hotel without booking another long excursion.

Choose from restaurants and cafés
Go shopping
Enjoy evening entertainment
Try bowling or ice skating
Visit family and children's entertainment areas
Take an evening walk in a lively setting

The Dancing Fountain at SOHO Square

The Dancing Fountain is one of the best-known attractions at SOHO Square.

During evening operation, water, lighting and music combine to create a colorful display in the centre of the entertainment area.

Fountain schedules may change, so if seeing a particular show is important to your visit, check the current schedule before travelling.

Restaurants at SOHO Square

Dining is one of the main reasons visitors spend an evening at SOHO Square.

The area currently includes a mix of international restaurants, casual dining, cafés and other food and drink venues.

Because restaurants, menus and operating hours can change, check the current information for the venue you specifically want to visit.

Cafés and Evening Atmosphere

You do not need to plan a formal dinner to enjoy SOHO Square.

Visitors can stop for coffee, dessert or refreshments while walking around the entertainment area and watching the evening activity.

This makes SOHO particularly useful if you want a flexible evening rather than a fixed excursion programme.

Shopping at SOHO Square

Shops form part of the SOHO Square experience and give visitors another option for souvenirs, gifts and holiday shopping.

The shopping environment is different from the bazaar-style atmosphere of the Old Market.

For a different shopping experience, compare it with our Old Market Sharm El Sheikh Guide .

Ice Skating at SOHO Square

One of the more unusual activities available at SOHO Square is ice skating.

It provides a completely different activity from the Red Sea and desert experiences normally associated with Sharm El Sheikh.

Current sessions, admission conditions and availability should be checked before visiting specifically for skating.

Bowling

SOHO Square also currently offers bowling, making it a useful indoor entertainment option for couples, families and groups of friends.

If bowling is a priority, check current operating hours and availability before your visit.

VR Games and Kids Activities

Families can find several entertainment options beyond restaurants and shopping.

Current SOHO Square facilities include children's entertainment and VR experiences, although individual attractions and operating hours can change.

Tennis and Squash

SOHO Square also has sports facilities for tennis and squash.

These are more relevant to travelers planning a specific activity rather than visitors simply coming for an evening walk, so confirm booking requirements and current availability in advance.

SOHO Square at Night

Evening is when SOHO Square becomes most atmospheric.

Lighting, restaurants, entertainment and visitors walking through the area create a lively setting that contrasts with the quieter atmosphere of many resort beaches during the day.

A typical visit can combine a walk, fountain viewing, dinner, shopping and one entertainment activity.

SOHO Square During the Day

SOHO Square can also be visited earlier, but the destination is particularly associated with its evening atmosphere.

If your main interest is restaurants, entertainment and decorative lighting, the evening will usually provide the fuller experience.

How Long Do You Need at SOHO Square?

You do not normally need to dedicate a full holiday day to SOHO Square.

A simple evening walk may take a relatively short time, while dinner, shopping and activities such as bowling or ice skating can extend your visit to several hours.

This makes SOHO easy to add to a day that already includes beach time or a shorter daytime activity.

SOHO Square vs Naama Bay

Naama Bay and SOHO Square are both popular for evening activities, but they have different styles.

Naama Bay combines a wider beachfront tourism area with restaurants, cafés, shops and a promenade.

SOHO Square is a more concentrated entertainment complex with dining, shopping and organised attractions.

Read our Naama Bay Sharm El Sheikh Complete Guide to compare the two areas.

SOHO Square vs Old Market

These destinations provide very different evening experiences.

SOHO Square is modern and entertainment-focused, while the Old Market has a busier bazaar atmosphere with souvenir shops, restaurants and Al Sahaba Mosque.

If you are staying for five or seven days, visiting both on different evenings is an easy way to experience different sides of Sharm El Sheikh.

Is SOHO Square Good for Families?

SOHO Square can work well for families because the evening does not have to revolve only around restaurants or nightlife.

Family-friendly entertainment can include the fountain, children's areas, ice skating, bowling and other activities depending on current availability.

Parents should check individual attraction requirements, age rules and operating times before visiting.

Is SOHO Square Good for Couples?

Couples can combine dinner, cafés, the Dancing Fountain and an evening walk without needing a full organised excursion.

It can work particularly well as a lighter evening between longer day trips.

Is SOHO Square Good for First-Time Visitors?

Yes. SOHO Square is easy to include in a first Sharm El Sheikh itinerary because it provides a completely different experience from the city's beaches, coral reefs and desert excursions.

For a complete trip plan, also see our Sharm El Sheikh Itinerary for 3, 5 and 7 Days .

What Can You Do Before Visiting SOHO Square?

Because SOHO Square works particularly well in the evening, you can use the daytime for a Red Sea or local activity.

Speed Boat Trip

If you want a relatively short Red Sea experience before an evening out, consider the Speed Boat Trip in Sharm El Sheikh .

A short activity leaves more flexibility for your evening plans than a full-day excursion.
