SUDAN

The following are the heritage sites, grouped into recommended gateway cities. This may help in planning on the logistics (travel and accommodation) of your journey.

KHARTOUM (KRT)

Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, is a vibrant metropolis located at the strategic confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers. Founded in 1821, the city serves as the nation’s political, cultural, and economic heart. Visitors can explore the extensive artifacts of the Sudan National Museum, experience the bustling atmosphere of the Omdurman Souq, and witness the unique spectacle of the Whirling Dervishes on Friday evenings. While historically a hub of trade and colonial history, travelers must currently exercise extreme caution due to ongoing conflict, security instability, and limited infrastructure.
