Reviews Khartoum

Overall rating: 7
Khartoum, is the capital and major trading, financial and political centre
of Sudan.
It is located on the western bank of the Blue Nile and forms a huge triangle,
with its vertex at the confluence of the two Niles and the base bordering Gezira
State about 30km south-eastward.
The climate is mainly tropical.
The city was founded in 1823 by Mehmet Ali and strengthened by walls and forts.
From 1899 to 1956 Khartoum was capital of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, and remained
capital when Sudan became independent.
Khartoum, together with the two other cities, Khartoum North and Omdurman forms
what is called the Tripartite Capital.
The city lies near the rich, irrigated cotton-growing Gezira area to the south
and much of its trade is based on Nile river traffic.
At present, Khartoum is a cosmopolitan city with a good variety of historic
attractions, museums, free annual events, and tourist services.

Khartoum is friendly and safe city, entertainment is reasonable though there are a general islamic theme in the city which hugely influences the life style in the city, (lack of bars and discos, lack of alcohol and beer in public restaurants and cafetieres, ...etc) but in social level is very understanding community that deals with adequate tolerance with foreigners and different cultures".

Yes it is 75% good, but somewhere it is very very bad. Sudan is very good means good land, good business appurtenanties but its people is too too much lazy, and want not do work, they got eduction and go to abroad for earning, why not doing jobs here and make their country good.

Khartoum safe all the day and night, all the ambassadors walk behind the Nile in Nile street.
Khartoum is free cities the Nile's (white, Blue and river Nile splitting it) nine bridges connect the three cities.
People helpful and love to assist foreigners.

Very hot climate with a lot of dust and very dirty. It is expensive and lacks recurational places. The people are very friendly and helpful to strangers and visitors. I think the US sanctions on the country has a great toll on the economy of the country.

It is abig city, but unorgnized, crowded, full of dirt and beggars. I could not find any historical buildings equalling a capital of an old civilization country. Sometimes i think this city has no history at all or people do not respect this history.

It is advisable to visit Khartoum during December and January while its weather is pleasant. Khartoum is a safe place with very nice population. You can enjoy company of Sudanese people. From there you arrange trips to fascinating historical places.

It is one of the city under development. But it is fastest growing city with in 10 years. However , there is some thing which must be changed, such as:
1, absence of cleanliness
2, high traffic areas
3, legal driving license for vehicles

Colonial Khartoum was designed to be the most beautiful city in Africa (not exceeded but by Johannesburg and Alexandria). It was, in deed, up to a few years back. Now a miserable place, but safe, so far.
