Sudan National Museum

The National Museum of Sudan or Sudan National Museum, abbreviated as SNM, is a two-story building, built in 1955 and established as the National Museum in 1971.

The building and its surrounding gardens contain the largest and most comprehensive Nubian archaeological collection in the world. Artifacts from the Paleolithic to the Islamic period, originating from every important site in Sudan.

A significant catalyst for the creation of the museum was the large number of transferred artefacts resulting from the international campaign to preserve the monuments of Nubia.

In particular it contains collections of these periods of Sudanese history: Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, A-group culture, C-group culture, Kerma culture, Middle Kingdom of Egypt, New Kingdom of Egypt, Napata, Mero, X-group.

Culture and Medieval Makuria. The museum is located on Nile Avenue in Khartoum, Al-Mughran area, near the confluence of the White and Blue Nile.

Pyramids of Meroë

The pyramids of Meroë are part of the larger group of Nubian pyramids, built around a millennium during the Kushite kingdom. Near Meroe, three royal cemeteries were built: the southern cemetery contains nine royal pyramids.

Four of the pyramids belong to kings and five to queens. A further one hundred and ninety-five tombs complete the cemetery. The Northern Cemetery contains forty-one royal pyramids.

Thirty of kings, six of queens and five of other royal families. There are three other non-royal tombs in the cemetery for a total of forty-four.

The Western Cemetery is a non-royal site. It contains about one hundred and thirteen tombs. On 8 September 2020, the pyramids were threatened by flooding for the first time.

Tuti Island

Tuti Island is an island in Sudan where the White Nile and Blue Nile join to form the main Nile. It is surrounded by "three cities": Khartoum, Omdurman and Khartoum North. Despite this, there is only one small village in Tuti, with grasslands being the main makeup of the island.

In the past the only access to Tuti Island was via several ferries that occasionally cross the river, but the Tuti Bridge, a modern suspension bridge, was completed in 2008 and can be used instead. Tuti Island is predominantly agricultural and is where Khartoum gets most of its fruit and vegetable supplies.

Several farms are located around the island, many of them still using manual methods of farming. There are also green fields and lemon orchards.

The Nuba Mountains

The Nuba Mountains, also known as the Nuba Mountains, are an area located in South Kordofan, Sudan. The area is home to a group of indigenous ethnic groups known collectively as the Nuba people. In the Middle Ages, the Nuba Mountains were part of the Nubian kingdom of Alodia.

In the 18th century, they became home to the Takali kingdom which controlled the hill country until their defeat by the Mahdi Muhammad Ahmad. After the British defeated the Mahdi Army, Takali was restored as a client state.

Infiltration of the Messiria tribe of Baggara Arabs has been influential in the modern conflict. Up to 1.5 million people live in the mountains, mostly ethnic Nuba and a small minority of Baggara.
