SUDAN TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Travel to Sudan on an adventurous journey visiting ancient historical sites, nomadic tribal cultures, the vast Sahara Desert, and the timeless Nile River. We will visit significant archaeological sites such as the temple of Amun, Kerma civilization, Nuri Prymids, royal city of Meroe and the important Meroetic site Nagaa. Once we leave Khartoum, accommodations are a mix of comfortable tented camps and a beautiful new boutique hotel designed like a traditional Nubian house. The resident chefs at both accommodations offer amazing dishes based on traditional cuisine with a western flair. There is electrical outlets to charge your devices in both types of accommodation. In each setting we are near local villages providing an opportunity to observe and interact with local people in an authentic setting. |
