Sudan information
Sudan is the largest country in Africa, bordering Egypt, Eritrea, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Libya and Uganda. Getting a visa for Sudan is an expensive hit-and-miss affair, but if you do manage to get in, you will probably have a fantastic experience.
Sudan is afflicted by civil wars which have been raging, on and off, for more than 40 years. When the colonial map-makers divided up Africa, they included in Sudan the predominantly muslim people of the north (including Nubians and Arabs), who share much of their history and culture with Egyptians, and the largely Christian and pagan Bantu people of the south, who have more in common with the rest of sub-Saharan Africa than with their northern countryfolk. Nowadays, an Islamic state, operating Shariah law in the north. Many in the south want independence or autonomy from the northern-influenced rule of Khartoum.

Sudan attractions
Train to Wadi Halfa
For a fun, week long adventure, buy a train ticket in Khartoum to Wadi Halfa, right on the border of Egypt. It is a two-day train journey and prepare to get dirty, but what a wonderful experiece it is. You take the train up to Atbara along the Nile, and then on to Abu Hamed, where the Nile turns west. From here, the train cuts straight through the nubian desert up to Wadi Halfa. Be sure to sit next to a window to see the Nile, and the ocean of desert that you will cross. Along the way, children in the villages will run along side the train and hope you throw out a little gift for them.
National Museum of Sudan
Sudanese Museum is one of the main attractions of Sudan. The National Museum of Sudan is the largest museum in Sudan. Located on El Neel Avenue in Khartoum, the museum contains works from different epochs of Sudanese history. Among the exhibits are two Egyptian temples of Buhen and Semna which were originally built by Queen Hatshepsut and Pharaoh Tuthmosis III respectively but relocated to Khartoum upon the flooding of Lake Nasser. It was founded in 1971. |
