Sharm El Sheikh City Tour: Old Market & Soho Square

Three stops in Sharm El Sheikh without planning the route yourself

You get picked up from your hotel and driven through three of Sharm El Sheikh's main gathering points: the Old Market with its rebuilt mosque, Genena City with views over Naama Bay, and Soho Square with its restaurants and entertainment venues. A guide handles the navigation and context. You handle deciding where to stop and how long to stay. Hotel return is included, so you arrive back without arranging anything else.

The experience

Someone leans back in an air-conditioned seat while the driver navigates the streets of Sharm El Sheikh. That's you, picked up from your hotel and handed over to a guide who knows which corners matter. The Sharm El Sheikh city tour moves through three distinct pockets of the city in a single afternoon, starting at the Old Market, where the rebuilt mosque and renovated stalls have transformed what was already the cultural spine of the place. You're not rushing. There's time to walk, to look at souvenirs without pressure, to feel the shift in the air when you step back out into the Red Sea light.

After the Old Market, the route takes you up to Genena City Shopping Mall. A practical stop that also happens to sit high enough to see Naama Bay spread out below. It's a break point, a place to grab water or coffee, and the kind of vantage most visitors miss on their own. Then comes Soho Square, the entertainment hub that doesn't feel like a tourist trap because it isn't one. Locals eat at the restaurants, families use the ice skating rink and bowling lanes, and the dancing fountain runs whether a tour group is watching or not. Your guide stays with you through all three, which means you're not decoding menus or asking directions. You're just moving through the city as someone who belongs there for the afternoon.

The whole thing runs 4 to 5 hours door-to-door, which is long enough to actually see Sharm El Sheikh without feeling like you've been herded. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't negotiate transport at either end. If you're booking alone, it's a small group. If there are two of you or more, the tour runs private, which changes the pace entirely. Your guide can linger where you want to linger, skip what doesn't interest you, and adjust the timing to your rhythm instead of a schedule.
