10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Sudan That You Shouldn't Miss
The Sudan or Sudan (/suːˈdæn, -ˈdɑːn/ ( listen); Arabic: السودان as-Sūdān) also known as North Sudan since South Sudan's independence and officially the Republic of the Sudan (Arabic: جمهورية السودان Jumhūriyyat as-Sūdān), is a country in Northern Africa. It is bordered by Egypt to the north, the Red Sea, Eritrea and Ethiopia to the east, South Sudan to the south, the Central African Republic to the southwest, Chad to the west and Libya to the northwest. It is the third largest country in Africa covering 1,886,068 square kilometres (728,215 sq mi). The White Nile flows through the country, emptying into Lake Nubia in the north, the largest manmade lake in the world. The River Nile divides the country into eastern and western halves. Before the Sudanese Civil War, South Sudan was part of Sudan, but it became independent in 2011.

I went in March 2021 and it is a must to do. During sunset and sunrise its mesmerizing. Its good to stay overnight as there is a nice camp type accommodation by Italian operators, which is quite professional. The best part is there is hardly any tourist so it will be you and pyramids. In March it was a little hot during day time so prefer to visit Dec-Feb.

5. Kerma's Archeological Site

Kerma was the political centre of an ancient kingdom that existed in what is now northern Sudan from c. 2500 to 1500 BC (when it was eventually conquered by their rivals to the north, the Egyptians). The most impressive remains on site are the giant mud-brick platform known as the 'deffufa'. This was probably a platform for a religious structure of some kind. You can climb the deffufa - it's about 18m high and gives an impressive view over the rest of the site, which is mainly preserved only as mud-brick foundations. It's very noticeable that the ancient architecture was based around African-looking round houses, as opposed to the rectilinear traditions of Egypt to the north. There is also a very good on-site museum that contains a wealth of statuary and reliefs from slightly later periods - because the site retained its importance as a religious shrine into much later times, when it was known as Pnubs. The star attractions are the cache of statues from the early kings of Napata (c. 675-595 BC), but there are also lots of fragments of Egyptian temple relief dating from the New Kingdom too (c. 1500-1069 BC).
6. Necropolis of Nuri

Reviewed By Kerryn72 - Melbourne, Australia
The pyramids of Nuri are a sight to behold. Pyramids in various states of repair/ restoration spread over a vast site, surrounded by small sand dunes. Allow lots of time to sit and enjoy these beautiful structures that are not yet inundated by tourists desperate for the perfect photo. Just sit and ponder, soak in the atmosphere and admire the workmanship and skill involved in building these impressive structures. Much more enjoyable than Giza due to the lack of other tourists. There are no entry chambers or hieroglyphs here- just the impressive pyramids themselves.

I along with my friends took a tour company to visit this place along with other sites. It's amazingly beautiful. I suggest go with a guide as there are several facts and nuances to appreciate. I paid 10 USD as entrance fee and got receipt. Better to carry 10 USD note as change can be an issue. March it was hot but bearable, better to go in winter.
8. Sudan National Museum

Reviewed By Salamandrine - Liverpool, United Kingdom
The collection of the museum could, as noted by other viewers, be better lit and labelled, but it is certainly impressive, and spans prehistory to Christianity. There are a select few specialist objects which will really intrigue those deeply interested in ancient Egypt and Nubia, such as the Uronarti Stela of Senwosret III of Egypt. The temples (Kumna, Semna and Buhen) outside are the highlight of the visit. I simply couldn't believe how well-preserved they had been after being saved from Lake Nasser. There is original paint still visible, especially in the Buhen temple, which I admittedly shed a few tears at. I was lucky enough to be able to sit in the temple alone later on and soak up the beautiful walls and scenery whilst mulling over my thoughts. Absolutely stunning, and a truly atmospheric experience.

My favorite street in Khartoum. Ever green and coolish anytime of the year as it is directly by the Nile river. You pass by a few of the historical old buildings in Khartoum: ex the Presidential Palace, the Old Sudan-Hotel, University of Khartoum....etc. generally well-maintained and green. There are a few river-side coffee-shops, not trendy more on the traditional side, but pleasant.
