Khartoum

Khartoum is full of life and is a busy bustling vibrant city, built where the White and Blue Nile meet. Khartoum's incredibly hospitable people, good facilities and relaxed atmosphere means that most people find it a fascintating destination in itself. You can choose to stay in the ultra-modern Corinthia Hotel or the colonial Grand Holiday Villas.

Highlights of Khartoum are the Whirling Dervish ceremony and the Nuba wrestling. A visit to the colouful Omdurman souq is well worthwhile and you can buy anything from a tin of golden syrup to a snake skin! You can also visit the Archaeological Museum which besides many beautiful objects, contains two beautiful temples rescued by UNESCO and moved from the Lake Nasser area when it was flooded.
