Sohag |
|
| Located
about 72 miles south of Asyut, the City of Sohag is the capital of
the Sohag governorate. It is also a major Coptic Christian center
for Upper Egypt. There is little here other than the White and Red
Monasteries just outside town. Of somewhat more interest is the town
of Akhmin just across the river. Most tourists visit this area as
a day trip |
