It is very difficult being a Copt in Egypt and getting worse. take a look here for some news.

Even the Muslims who try to defend the Coptic in Egypt get punished for it. Awful.
Add info: Whoever gave me the thumb down, thanks a lot. It only shows that you don't know anything, or you just don't want to know. The above are news, and facts. We all are the same, and need to help each others not hide and pretend it is not there.
Look them up and see if it is true or not for yourself.

it's Sohag.
and Coptic or Muslim it doesn't matter.. Egyptians are the same and treat ppl the same regardless. Never think of it that way.
Sohag is a nice city but it's not modernised enough, I'd rather live in cities like Alexandria, Cairo, Areesh, Sharm El Sheikh, Hurgada or Ismailia =)
Enjoy your stay ^_^

It's spelled Suhage...
It's difficult 2 be a Coptic christian living in Arab world in general..
It's not easy for Christians to live in Egypt especially South where Suhage is...
I'm a Coptic & I know...
They kidnap girls & force them 2 become muslims or they'll rape them...

Almost anywhere in Egypt people live peacefull and with harmony no matter whether they're Copts or Muslims. Take my word for it and later you'll see for yourself.
I would not tell you that if Muslims really did not like Copts and if it was true that Muslims treat Copts badly.

It is spelled Sohag and pronounced Sohaj- both muslims and copts live there. It is really arlight being a copt, there are a lot of exaggerations in the media and amongst copts residing abroad regarding matters here. Our problems are commmon to the population and has very little to do with religion.
Hope the above clarifies.
