Wandering round the town itself and its small market won't take too long. Outside the town, if you climb the small hills nearby there are some fantastic views of the surrounding area and the edges of the Nuba Mountains. It's particularly nice first thing in the morning. There are some attractive spots that might be good for camping - although the police might not allow it. The hills are quite rocky and there are plenty of goats and cows lazing about. There are also some 'African style' villages with mud huts with thatched roofs nearby. The inhabitants were shocked, to say the least, to see a khawaja just wandering around.

Helpfulness
You will have plenty time to wait for a bus out of Dilling (we waited three hours for the one bus to arrive from Kadugli, and another three for it to fill with passengers for El Obeid), so you can have a walk round the town. Head one way, and you'll find the University of Dilling, head the other way and you have the souq and the forest. The souq is fairly standard, nothing special if you've been to other places in Sudan, and not a patch on Kadugli's souq. The forest looks as if it could be a nice place for a picnic, but it was too muddy for us when we went.

Halfway between ElObeid and Kadugli is the small town of Dilling (pronounced Ad-dillinge), and from the bus it looks quite pretty...green trees, rocky outcrops, wide streets, forests, rivers....So on...

I spent six months living in sunny Dilling. It is in my opinion the most delightful village in Kordofan - less populated (dirty) than El Obeid and more friendly than Kadugli. There are very few places...

Dilling, a nice quiet place with a great souk
Dilling, at the foot of the Nuba mountains can easily be accessed by bus from El Obeid. It is a quiet little town with a real African touch
