Sudan: Between Africa and the Mediterranean
 

https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/africa/sudan/


Sudan is a country in northeastern Africa, south of Egypt and north of South Sudan. The great river Nile flows through its whole territory, dividing it into two uneven parts. From the east, Sudan is awash by the Red Sea, which offers many recreational opportunities. However, over several last decades, the country has suffered various conflicts which undermine its economic growth and political stability. This, consequently, increases the risk tourists coming to Sudan may face and makes tourism less popular. We believe that a country with such an ancient heritage and such a diverse cultural landscape cannot be missed at least once in a lifetime - let's see what is special about Sudan.
 
One of Sudan's brightest landmarks is its ancient capital, Khartoum, which is located at the junction of the Blue Nile and the White Nile. Despite the hot and arid climate, the country has rich wildlife preserved in game reserves and national parks, such as Dinder or Radom National Parks. They have been designated as UNESCO biosphere reserves. Population of Sudan consists of numerous ethnic groups speaking dozens of languages and dialects. While Arabic influence is more substantial in the north, African indigenous culture is prevalent in the south.
