The road used to be flat dusty land and punctuated by villages, though now these are expanding on both sides of the road and new buildings are rising out of the dust. But still it is not the most exciting journey one can take. In this travelogue I will give a few 'warts and all' glimpses of this vast are, which despite appearances was , until recently, the source of Sudan's income.

lynnehamman Thu Apr 16, 2009 15:04 UTC Shane- interesting page on this unknown (to me) place. The scorpion & cemetary tips are particuarly interesting. However- from your shopping tip-well-I would NOT be tempted to buy spare parts & tyres lol! | evaanna Sun Jan 6, 2008 09:33 UTC Interesting mosques and gubbas. The cemeteries look different from the European ones, but do we need anything more after death? I didn't realise travelling on Sudanese roads can be so dangerous, and when I think of the scorpions... Interesting updates. | SLLiew Wed Oct 10, 2007 04:03 UTC Learnt more of life in Sudan after reading this page. Thanks for sharing. At least, it is easy to play football so much open space. | Ekaterinburg Sun Aug 5, 2007 00:44 UTC It's very interesting to read about a place and culture I know so little about. Thanks for sharing this information :)) |
