Khartoum (/kɑːrˈtuːm/ kar-TOOM)[4][5] is the capital and largest city of Sudan and the state of Khartoum. It is located at the confluence of the White Nile, flowing north from Lake Victoria, and the Blue Nile, flowing west from Ethiopia. The location where the two Niles meet is known as al-Mogran (المقرنthe confluence). The main Nile continues to flow north towards Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea.
Divided by the two Rivers Nile, Khartoum is a tripartite metropolis with an estimated overall population of over five million people, consisting of Khartoum proper, and linked by bridges to Khartoum North (الخرطوم بحري al-Kharṭūm Baḥrī) and Omdurman (أم درمان Umm Durmān) to the west.Economy[edit]
Development in Khartoum
After the signing of the historic Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLA), the Government of Sudan began a massive development project.[26][27] In 2007, the biggest projects in Khartoum were the Al-Mogran Development Project, two five-star hotels, a new airport, Mac Nimir Bridge (finished in October 2007) and the Tuti Bridge that links Khartoum to Tuti Island.
In the 21st century, Khartoum developed based on Sudan's oil wealth (although the independence of South Sudan in 2011 affected the economy of Sudan negatively[28]). The center of the city has tree-lined streets. Khartoum has the highest concentration of economic activity in the country. This has changed as major economic developments take place in other parts of the country, like oil exploration in the South, the Giad Industrial Complex in Al Jazirah state and White Nile Sugar Project in Central Sudan, and the Merowe Dam in the North.[citation needed]
Among the city's industries are printing, glass manufacturing, food processing, and textiles. Petroleum products are now produced in the far north of Khartoum state, providing fuel and jobs for the city. One of Sudan's largest refineries is located in northern Khartoum.[28]
Retailing[edit]
The Souq Al Arabi is Khartoum's largest open air market. The souq is spread over several blocks in the center of Khartoum proper just south of the Great Mosque (Mesjid al-Kabir) and the minibus station. It is divided into separate sections, including one focused entirely on gold.[29]
Al Qasr Street and Al Jamhoriyah Street are considered the most famous high streets in Khartoum State.
Afra Mall is located in the southern suburb Arkeweet. The Afra Mall has a supermarket, retail outlets, coffee shops, a bowling alley, movie theaters, and a children's playground.
In 2011, Sudan opened the Hotel Section and part of the food court of the new, Corinthia hotel Tower. The Mall/Shopping section is still under construction.

Sudan National Museum in Khartoum, Sudan
Sudan National Museum in Khartoum, Sudan
The National Museum of Sudan is a double storied building constructed in 1955 and established as a museum in 1971. The building and its surrounding gardens house the largest and most comprehensive Nubian archaeological collection in the world including objects from the Paleolithic through to the Islamic period originating from every site of importance in the Sudan.
In particular it houses collections of these periods of the History of Sudan: Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Kerma Culture, Kingdom of Egypt and medieval Makuria.
The museum is located on the El Neel (Nile) Avenue in Khartoum in Al-Mugran area near the spot where the White and the Blue Niles meet.
The National Museum holds many treasures of Sudan’s ancient and medieval past. They’re well presented and labelled, and give a good narrative of Sudanese history. Spread out over two floors, the ground floor starts with Sudan’s prehistory and covers the rise of Kerma and Kush in great detail. Kerma is particularly well represented through its famous pottery. The Kushite displays show the wide variety of cultural exchange in play throughout the kingdom. Egyptian culture is the strongest influence, shown particularly in the royal statues found at Jebel Barkal dating from around 690BC and the sarcophagus of Anlamani from his tomb at Nuri about 100 years earlier. A clear Hellenistic influence can be seen in the statue of the so-called ‘Venus of Meroë’ and a blue-glass chalice from Sedeinga, with depictions of gods and bearing a Greek inscription ‘You shall live’. A side room on the ground floor has space for temporary displays, often illustrating current archaeological digs.
The upstairs gallery holds the museum’s most unexpected displays – frescoes from Christian Nubia. Despite lasting for 700 years, Sudan’s early Christian kingdoms are little known to the outside world and repeated Sudanese governments have shown little interest in promoting this aspect of their history. I was as ignorant as most on my first visit, and was astounded to find beautiful frescoes depicting Christ and the Virgin Mary, along with a host of archangels, saints and apostles. The style of the frescoes is distinctly Byzantine, reflecting Nubia’s links with the Roman Empire in the east. Most were painted between the 8th and 14th centuries, and were taken from the cathedral at Faras, now submerged under Lake Nasser. The upstairs galleries can be a little dark, so you may want to take a torch with you in order to see the details in the frescoes.

Aegis HART Sudan Visit.m4v
In January 2013, Baroness Cox and Dr Mukesh Kapila travelled hundreds of kilometres through Sudan's Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile.
The two areas have been closed since armed conflict erupted between the Sudanese Government and opposition groups in June 2011. Over the past 18 months, hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. Many remain in the two areas, where Government bombing has triggered desperate food shortages. International humanitarian relief access has been blocked.
Is this on its way to becoming another Darfur-scale catastrophe?

Сайт о жизни за границей -
Мы заехали в Хартум с юга. Страна специфическая, но достаточно интересная. Основное население - арабы.
Предпоследняя страна Африки, которую мы посетили в трансафриканской экспедиции - Судан. Страна, переживающая санкции США с 1997 года.
Госдепартамент США говорит, что Судан - страна посещение, которой является нежелательным. В стране до недавнего времени велись военные действия. Правда только на спорных с Южным Суданом землях - в Дарфуре.
Страна где существует полноценный черный рынок валюты, а обмен доллара США за пределами банков - уголовное преступление! Все это делает путешествие в Судан интересным и увлекательным!
Как вы понимаете, нам необходимо было не только произвести обмен долларов США на Суданские фунты, но и избежать ареста, со стороны бдительных полицейских.
Санкции США наложены на Судан как на страну - спонсора терроризма. А в дальнейшем ужесточены, после отделения Южного Судана от северного и непрекращающегося спора в районе Дарфур. В результате доллары (и остальная валюта) оказались, практически, вне закона в Судане и там сформировался черный рынок валюты.
Африка, санкции США, Россия, госдеп США, Хартум, Дарфур, Россия санкции США, черный рынок валюты.
Там совсем нет туристов, как и самого туризма. А все туристические достопримечательности Хартума - очень условны. Хотя в Судане очень много достопримечательностей.
