AFRICA ATTRACTIONS

Khartoum

Khartoum, the capital and largest city in Sudan, amazes visitors with high temperatures, safety and cultural traditions. Meeting point between the White Nile (from Lake Victoria in Uganda) and the Blue Nile (from Lake Tana in Ethiopia), Khartoum is a busy metropolis, also formed by the cities of Khartoum North and Omdurman. The Islamic architecture of North Africa blends with modern buildings, creating a particular atmosphere.

Starting point for Sudan's incredible attractions, Khartoum has a hospitable population, excellent universities and unbearable heat at certain times of the year. But it is one of the most authentic cultural experiences on the African continent. It has excellent museums, picturesque markets, great restaurants and especially during Ramadan period, the city experiences night time with great intensity.

Culture

Each region of Africa keeps alive the ancient traditions of its ancestors. Political borders do not define different ethnicities, each one with its own language, culture, art and history. In the last century, neocolonialism has created a traumatic clash of civilizations: in many cases, the African cultural heritage has merged with European traditions. The result has not always been positive, but it can be thoroughly investigated in each African destination.
