    Most of the land on Tuti Island is used for agricultural purposes and therefore, you can wander around some of these farms without any problems. It's a good escape from all the dust & monotonous color of Khartoum city

    Our bajaj driver took us through some of these farms and beeped his horn at anyone to let them know that we're with him. The children are especially curious to see us. Some farmers even recommended some good spots to visit on the island, like the beach

    Since Khartoum is landlocked, you can't enjoy a day at the beach unless you come to Tuti Island

    Each year, the the rivers rise and recede to reveal a little beach on the east side of Tuti Island. This normally occurs after the rainy season and during "winter". From the beach, you get fabulous views of Palace Hotel & the Presidential Palace.

    There are no fancy stalls or daybeds for rent, just soft sand to play or lie on. So bring your own blankets & snacks if you want to enjoy the day under the sun and watch the world go by. Remember that it's still right in the heart of bustling Khartoum. To me, it was a fun trip with friends and it's always nice to feel real sand between my toes again

  • Address: East of Tuti Island, Khartoum
  • Directions: From Khartoum, you will have to take a ferry across to Tuti Island, then take a bajaj or caro (donkey cart) and walk through someone's farm before you arrive at the beach.

    Stepping into Tuti Island, you will find yourself in a different place than Khartoum. It is reminiscent of a small rural area with a small town but you can start to see the signs of change. Huge villas are under construction amongst the traditional houses with small lanes where you can find locals walking by.

    There is a big field in front of the town's mosque where boys play football in the afternoons. Other than the local Tutians, people from other parts of Sudan have settled here e.g South Sudanese.

    Close to the local cafe areas, the smell of fried fish fills the air and more people congregating to socialize or buy their cold drinks from one of the small shops that line the street. There is also one main asphalt street that runs for maybe a mile or so but I suspect once the bridge from Khartoum is completed, that street will connect to many other areas on the island

  • Address: Tuti Island, Khartoum
  • Directions: From the ferry point (facing Nile Avenue), you can either take the local transport for a short trip to town

    The making of red bricks can be seen all along the Nile. There is still a flourishing industry on Tuti Island.
    The bricks are made from a mixture of Nile silt, cow dung and water. This is aallowed to ferment for some time. Then the mixture is shaped into bricks, stacked up and wood is inserted and the whole structure is covered with mud. The wood is lit and the kiln is allowed to burn for two weeks. Then the kiln is opened and the bricks are ready to be sold and used.
    This traditional method is how Khartoum was built.

    Tuti Island has maintain a lifestyle which has been around for generations but with the advent of the new bridge, this patch of land may become the hottest property around. Situated in the heart of Khartoum and close proximity to Nile Avenue, I won't be surprised if new development projects will soon take shape here.
