Sohag is situated on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt, thus being one of the most captivating cities incorporating all the three religions - Egyptian, Coptic and Islamic - and their ghosts. Sohag is an unspoiled place and thus it offers the tourists a chance to mingle with the locals and discover the country's less-known historical sites amidst the soothing Nile view.
The most significant point of interest in Sohag is the White Monastery and Red Monastery, which are two of the most important spots of Coptic Christianity in Egypt, respectively going back to the 4th and 5th centuries AD. The church's frescoes and stone carvings that have been beautifully preserved, are being admired by the lovers of history and architecture alike.
Besides the monasteries, Sohag is also the Temple of Seti I at Abydos, which is a very short distance away - just one of the most sacred places of ancient Egypt inhabited by Gods, Osiris in particular. Moreover, the Akhmim open-air museum is reflecting the city's long-standing importance throughout history by presenting various statues, ruins, and relics from Pharaoh's era.
Nevertheless, apart from the monuments, Sohag is also a good place to get a real taste of Upper Egypt, thanks to its lively local markets, green fields, and the hospitality of the people which always adds up to the visit's charms.
Thus, if you are a traveler in search of a not-so-common route that is loaded with history, spirituality, and authenticity, then Sohag is no doubt the Nile's hidden gem.
