An orchard on the island
On the Nile near the Gezira Club there are small ferries and rowing boats which will take you over the river to a small island. On the island is a great beach to laze around on, and if you wander around a bit, near a big house belonging to someone important, there's a kind of orchard of lemon groves, mango and banana trees. And also the tastiest cucumbers in the world (I can't stand cucumber normally but this stuff is delicious!) The owners are very friendly and willing to chat and it's a wonderful place to sit in the shade and watch the sunset (sorry to keep going on about the sunset in Medani but it was stunning) - just remember to make the last ferry back or you'll have to swim!
