Popular Warnings or Dangers | Miscellaneous Warnings or Dangers Tips | All Tips (3) The Jebel Al Awliya dam is protected by the military and therefore, it is advised not to take photos of the dam. I suppose it's fine to take pictures of the nearby banks

When we set up the BBQ at a rather secluded area away from the dam, we still had all sorts of extra guests coming over to our camp. Old men, women with children, young boys and even the goats & sheeps magically appear. At first, we didn't want to give but eventually we gave them some food and water. Then they came back, stood around us and won't leave until they took our firewood. They even took our bag of trash & emptied it on the ground to collect the bag (so much for our efforts to preserve the environment). After giving them food, water & firewood, they started asking for money. So be prepared for this when you think you'll just have a relaxing weekend BBQ at the park. Later some people from the military guarding the dam area came by and advised us to watch our belongings. I don't know if that's needed because I think Khartoum area is one of the safest places I've been to
