Abydos Temple
For more ancient Egyptian culture, visit the colourful Abydos Tombs, a temple built by Ramesses II.
The Red Monastery
This magnificent building dates back 1,500 years and is one of the most famous Christian monasteries in Egypt. Architecturally significant, inside you can enjoy beautiful sculptures and paintings.
The White Monastery
The nearby White Monastery was constructed using stones reused from Pharaonic temples, and you can still spot hieroglyphics in some places.
Shopping
Sohag attracts fewer tourists than many of the other cities of Egypt, and shopping caters more for locals than visitors. While you won’t find designer western brands or high-end fashion outlets, you’ll still discover almost everything you could need in the markets, streets, and malls, and all with a friendlier, more laid-back atmosphere.
Food And Drink
Eating out in Sohag focuses on local Egyptian and Arabic food. Fast-food lovers are also catered for, with western-style fast food outlets serving fried chicken and pizza.
