Sand Dune, Bajrawiya

From Khartoum, take a bus heading to Atbara, and ask to be let off at Bajrawiya or Al-Ahram. If they don't stop the bus, then you should be able to spot them through the windows...I mean, thirty black pyramids and orange sand dunes do tend to bbe hard to miss, especially with the dull scenery for the rest of the trip...when you see them, start clicking! The fare to Atbara on a hafla (cheapish bus) is 10,000 pounds. Bajrawiya is about halfway between Khartoum and Atbara, but they may insist on making you pay full fare...argue! Leaving the pyramids, basically you have no option but to hitch...most vehicles will stop, especially if they see a khawaja...we caught a lift on a police water truck to Shendi, from where we took a bus back to Khartoum.
