Sample Itinerary:
The Kingdom of Black Pharaohs
Group Size: Min 4, max 12 Rating: Transport: Private 4WD Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Sudan is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in Africa. One of the pleasures of any trip is discovering the many tribes that make up the nation. We have an opportunity of doing this on our tours. Along the Nile in northern Sudan you can experience the hospitality of the Shaqiyah Arabs and the Nubians, whose land stretches into Egypt. Also along the Nile travellers will see many of Sudans ancient sites, the remains of Kush and medieval Nubia. The most popularly visited site is the Royal Cemetery of Meroe, better known as the Pyramids. Further north are the cluster of sites around Karima and Dongola notably the temple of Jebel Barkal, the crumbling pyramids of Nuri and El Kurru, known for its delightful tomb wall paintings. The medieval Nubian sites of Old Dongola and Ghazali can be harder to reach, but are featured in most of our tours. Many travellers agree that getting there is half the fun and relish the challenge of ferry hopping across the Nile as part of their journey. Our tours give the intrepid traveller the rare opportunity of travelling in the largest country in Africa, delving deep into a unique culture. Our small group itinerary is based on the very best accommodation available in Sudan, including a stay at an atmospheric hotel, built in local Nubian style, followed by time at a comfortable permanent desert camp, with hotel like facilities. Many experienced travellers rate Sudan as one of the most hospitable countries in Africa. Join us on our unique road of exploration and discovery and find out just how true this saying is.
