Jebel Aulia. Weekend outing for Khartoum citizens

A visit to Wad Medani - the capital of the Gezira state - is not regrettable. Good souks, friendly atmosphere and trips on the Nile are only few things this city has to offer.

North of the Red Sea town of Port Sudan beaches and reeves have the potential of attracting tourists to the Sudan. Not developed for mass tourism you can find unspoilt beaches and possibilities for diving hardly found anywhere else.

As the most important harbour on the Red Sea, Port Sudan has naturally been frequently visited by Norwegian ships - Norway having the 5th biggest merchant navy in the world. But there are also other traces of Norway in the lively coastal town.
