What to see and do in Wadi Halfa? Well, you'll probably find most of your time is spent waiting at the station for the ticket office to open, but if you tire of that, then there's not an awful lot else to do. You can walk to the shores of Lake Nasser, wander round the miniscule souq, pay a visit to immigration who are terribly nice but can't really do anything to save you time in Khartoum, or climb a rocky outcrop and watch the big birds soar. Are they eagles, or are they vultures assuming that the town either is or soon will be dead? I'm not a great ornithologist, but whatever they are, they are impressive, if rather scary as they swoop down towards you.
