mafi_moya Says: 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....
maykal Says: 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...
A slum: The best, worst and only place to stay
mafi_moya Says: There's only one place to stay in Dilling, in a small street right beside the bus station. It's a communal room that's a breeding ground for mosquitos. I shared it with three guys who looked like they wanted to slit my throat. There was no water, but there was a...
maykal Says: IN the bus station down a mud-filled road is Dilling's only accommodation option. The owner, a senile mahusive jellabiyyad man, is generally friendly but as we were an unmarried couple, he was a bit reluctant to let us stay. We needed a muzzakira from the security police to...
maykal Says: Exit the bus station, and head straight on at the crossroads...you will soon spot a shawarma stall where the best shawarmas in all central Sudan are to be found. the owners were quite shocked at seeing two khawajas come in, and one of them almost fell off his seat when we...
Hut2009 Says: Dilling is a small town at the foot of the Nuba Mountains, 160 km to the south of El Obeid.The bus station for Dilling (Mawgaf el Dillinj) is situated on the outskirts of El Obeid. The taxi drivers know it.From there, you can travel in small buses. The trip costs SDG 12 and...
mafi_moya Says: You can get buses to Dilling directly from Souk Shaabi in Khartoum - but they're uncomfortable, a very long journey, and there's only one a day, leaving early morning. A better bet is to catch a bus to El Obeid and stay there overnight, then continuing early next morning to...
maykal Says: There is transport from Dilling to El Obeid or Kadugli, and dilling is roughly halfway between those two cities, four hours from each. You will end up waiting a long time at dilling bus station though, as buses tend to have a hard time of it on the Kadugli road, and often...
blackguardian Says: I can almost guarantee that at this point in time there are no mines anywhere in the vicinty of Dilling - or any village within an hour driving of Dilling. Having said that - my 100% guarantee is for the trodden paths/tracks/roads. Outside of that, I have been reassured by...
mafi_moya Says: While it's good to wander about and walk around the hills and surroundings, remember that this is very close to what has been one of the bloodiest war zones in Sudan. There's a ceasefire in the Nuba Mountains at the moment - and even during the war Dilling was pretty much...

South Kordofan and the Nuba Mountains is one of the most beautiful areas of Sudan, and the scenery around Dilling, on the edge of the mountain region, is stunning. At the time I went a ceasefire was...

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
