Sohag Attractions

The provincial capital of Sohag lies on the west bank of the Nile, here spanned by a large bridge (one section of which is a swing bridge), at the point where the Sohagiya Canal branches off the river.

Sohag has cotton weaving factories and other textile industries, a busy bazaar, several mosques of no particular interest and a large Coptic Cathedral of the early 20th C.
