All Saints Cathedral in Juba, South Sudan

All Saints Cathedral in Juba, South Sudan
As the Episcopal Church of Sudan, All Saints is Juba's main church. Built in 1959, it holds daily services in Arabic, English and Zande. In recent years, growing congregations have struggled to be accommodated in All Saints. In early 2013, plans were announced to build a bigger cathedral that could accommodate 3,000 worshippers. The original All Saints Cathedral is expected to be put to other church-related uses in the future.

Still coming to terms with its new status as an independent country, South Sudan has built a few tourist attractions to offer its visitors. Nor does it have much in the way of infrastructure and overall facilities. That said, it is certainly a tourist destination to watch out for in the future, with much promise in store.

Those who do plan to visit South Sudan will be rewarded with a glimpse of an Africa that is still remote and relatively unchanged since ancient times.

Many of the principal attractions understandably live within the spreading capital city, Juba, where particular highlights include both the imposing Cathedral of All Saints and the rather stately Presidential Palace.
