Tourist attractions in Khartoum

Introduction: Khartoum University is located in the city center of Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, near the Nile River. It was established in 192, and was the earliest institution of higher learning in Sudan. It was once the number one university in Africa. Architecture and law at Khartoum University are famous majors in Africa. 7% of lawyers in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, are from the Law Department of Khartoum University. At present, there are 7 honorary professors, 127 professors, 324 associate professors, 439 assistant professors, 411 lecturers and 312 teaching assistants. There are 21 colleges, 11 research institutes, 6 research centers, 1 graduate school, 3 hospitals integrating teaching and research, 2 medical centers, 1 primary school and 1 middle school.

Address: 9km north of Khartoum

Description: The Nile falls very little, and most of the areas it flows through are grassland, swamp, Gobi and desert. From Khartoum, Sudan to Aswan, Egypt, the Nile has the largest gap. This section is about 14 kilometers long, with many canyons and many turns. The altitude drops from 46 meters in Khartoum to 18 meters in Aswan, with a total drop of about 28. Due to the different hardness of rocks encountered along the river, this section of riverbed was eroded to form six waterfalls, which were named the first to sixth waterfalls from downstream to upstream. The sixth waterfall, which is the most upstream waterfall of the Nile, is located 9 kilometers north of Khartoum. As you can imagine from the overall drop of the Nile, it is unlikely to form the waterfall with obvious drop on the Nile. The Nile flows about 8km north from Khartoum and through the first gorge-Chabarot Gorge. Address: 8km north of Khartoum

Introduction: The White Nile and the Blue Nile converge in Khartoum to form the Nile. The Nile flows about 8km north from Khartoum and through the first gorge-Chabarot Gorge. The canyon is about 12 kilometers long, and the maximum valley depth is about 15 meters. The river surface suddenly shrinks from 5-1 meters in the upper reaches of the canyon to 15-25 meters in width. Address: 18km north of Khartoum

Description: Naqa Temple is located 18km north of Khartoum. The driving route is to walk 14 kilometers from Khartoum along Atbala Highway, pass a toll station, then turn right and get off the road, and walk 4 kilometers along a dirt road measured north of a seasonal river to a small village called Naqa, and the temple is next to Naqa Village. The temple is divided into two places, one named "Lion Temple" and the other named "Amon Temple". It has been more than 23 years since these temples were attributed to the kingdom of Milovi. Address: on the Gobi desert on the west side of the Nile, 25 kilometers north of Khartoum

Description: On the Gobi desert on the west side of the Nile, 25 kilometers north of Khartoum, there is a small river ditch washed by the seasonal river, and many silicified wood fossils are exposed near the ditch. Some are upright, some are lying horizontally, and some trunks and branches are very complete. The longest one is more than 2 meters long and the diameter is more than 1 meter thick. A large number of silicified wood appeared, indicating that this endless Gobi desert was once a towering forest in ancient times. Silicified wood was formed from the beginning of Paleozoic Carboniferous period (starting from 35 million years ago) to Mesozoic Cretaceous period (ending from 65 million years ago). At present, a large number of silicified wood are mainly found in Jurassic period 15 million years ago. When plants (mainly ancient trees such as conifers, cycads, gingko and ferns) are buried by sediments, and they are in a water-deficient arid environment, wood is not easy to decay. During the long petrochemical process, minerals such as silica, calcium carbonate and iron sulfide alternate the fiber structure of wood, and preserve the shape of branches, forming silicified wood or silicified forest buried underground.
