If you're travelling independently, then head south out of Khartoum, along the White Nile and keep going till you get to Jebel Aulia.
You can also get there by public transport - buses leave from Souk Arabi in Khartoum and will drop you about a 10-15 minute walk from the dam.

From an unspecified place behind Souk Arabi, buses head to Jebel Awliya, costing 1000 pounds (100 dinar) one way, taking just over an hour. They drop you off in the town centre, and the dam is about a 10 minute walk away. If you have any trouble finding the bus, then try shouting "Jebel Awliya" to a few bus drivers in Souk Arabi!
