Popular Things To Do | Other Things To Do Tips | All Tips (2) As the afternoon heat begins to die down, head away from the souq to climb one of the mini mountains which surround the town. The most easily accessible one is right behind the football stadium, and indeed, you can keep an eye on the match from afar as you climb. Pick a path through the mud huts on the lower slopes, or ask a local child to show you the way. Once you reach the summit, you can see the whole town spread out beneath you. It is a popular place for the few local tourists (there were two...a honeymoon couple), and many residents of Kadugli head up here to mix or write poetry or draw. A man in rags followed us up with a troop of stray dogs...he said "salaam", and sat down with his dogs at his feet. Leave a Comment

The heart of every Sudanese town is its souq, and Kadugli is no exception. As you leave the main road, it seems quite dull and disappointing, with normal dukkans selling stuff you can buy anywhere and no sense of atmosphere at all, but don't be put off. keep going deeper, and it becomes livelier and more traditional. The stalls become more rustic in design, made out of wood with plastic sheeting or woven leaves as roofs. The goods also become more "exotic" (I don't like that word, but can't think of a better alternative), like spices, herbal medicines, animal skins, shoes made from old tyres, coffee making equipment, etc... The people are very friendly, and there is no pressure to buy anything, although at times the "khawaji" factor did get a bit overwhelming. tea ladies are everywhere, and when the sun becomes too hot (as it usually does), then you should stop at one for a kerkedeh, gingery coffee or tea, and provide entertainment for the local shopkeepers!
