The experience

The tour picks you up at the time that suits your schedule and takes you first to Al Sahaba Mosque, completed in 2016 after six years of construction. The mosque is one of the largest in the South Sinai region and draws visitors for its scale and design. Two imams fluent in English and French lead prayers there daily. From the mosque, you move to the Old Market to shop and walk among the stalls at your own pace.

Your final stop is SOHO Square, the entertainment hub of the city. Here you watch the Dancing Fountain, which synchronizes its jets with music, and see skaters perform on the ice rink. The guide stays with you throughout, and the air-conditioned vehicle handles all transport between stops. Once you're done, the driver takes you back to your hotel.

The tour is private, so the pace and timing are yours to set within the 4-hour window. Entry to Al Sahaba Mosque and SOHO Square, bottled water and all taxes are built into the price. Your guide can answer questions about what you're seeing and help navigate the market if you want recommendations.
