Sohag International Airport sits 24 kilometres south of Sohag city in Upper Egypt, serving the Sohag Governorate and surrounding region. Opened in May 2010 at a cost of US$80 million, it was the fifth international airport in Upper Egypt. The terminal building is modelled on an Ancient Egyptian temple and can handle up to 3.5 million passengers annually.
