  • As I lived in Sudan, I've never actually stayed in a hotel in Khartoum. However, I've been inside plenty and this is definitely the most atmospheric - not the most luxurious but very attractive and charming (inside anyway, outside it looks like a dump!). It's run by George the Greek (born in Sudan) who is incredibly helpful and knows everything about Sudan that there is to know. Even if you don't stay here he can arrange trips, guides, visas etc.

    Unique Qualities: The shop is expensive but has the best collection of maps and books on Sudan there is. Also good for a cold coke and a read of the international newspapers (far more up to date than the British Council). It's generally the place to stay for visiting journalists and aid workers so it's good to hang out in the lounge and pick up the latest gossip.
