Sharm El Sheikh Nightlife: Things to Do at Night in Naama Bay and Soho Square

Quick answer: Sharm El Sheikh nightlife is in two areas. Naama Bay has most of the bars, clubs and late-night restaurants along a seafront promenade. Soho Square is calmer and family-friendly, with a dancing fountain, an ice rink, restaurants and shops. Outside town, you can spend the evening in the desert with a Bedouin dinner and stargazing.
