Travelers looking to explore the nightlife of Sharm el Sheikh often seek a seamless way to combine cultural vibes with lively entertainment. The Farsha Cafe & Soho Square Night Out Driver experience offers just that, providing private transportation and guided access to two of the city’s most appealing spots. It’s a popular choice among visitors who want to indulge in authentic Arabian hospitality, enjoy diverse nightlife options, and avoid the hassle of navigating unfamiliar streets at night.
What we love about this experience is its balance of convenience and authenticity—the driver picks you up from your hotel, eliminating transport worries, and the venues themselves promise a memorable evening filled with good food, music, and vibrant atmospheres. The price point of around $18 per person makes this a surprisingly affordable way to enjoy a big chunk of Sharm’s night scene.
A possible consideration is that the Farsha Cafe has specific opening hours—it’s only open for couples, females, or adult mixed groups after 4:00 PM, which might affect families or larger male groups. Also, the experience is largely self-guided once you’re at the venues, so travelers who prefer a guided tour might find this a bit freeform.
This tour suits couples, solo travelers, or small groups eager to experience a blend of cultural charm and lively nightlife without the headaches of planning every detail themselves.

The cafe has specific rules—it opens for certain groups after 4:00 PM, mainly couples, females, or mixed adult groups. If you’re traveling as a family with kids or a male-only group, it’s best to arrive earlier in the day or plan accordingly, as no one is made to leave if inside after hours.
