In a nutshell
The longer you stay the more you'll like it
CanDo_55 Says: Every Friday there a city tour departs a local hotel, for me it was the best 30 SP I've ever spent. Taking photo's in Khartoum can still be a challenge, even with the permit. For this tour our guide was from the Ministry of Antiquities and we free to take as many pic's as we...

BorneoGrrl Says: When you get to the Blue Nile Sailing Club, the first thing you will notice is a gray colored boat onshore about 50m from the riverbanks. The El Malik was formerly one of Kitchener's gunboats that has seen many battles, namely the Battle of Omdurman. After retiring from...

Coffee and more: coffee , cakes and snacks
uglyscot Says: The outside is just a sign indicating that the cafe is upstairs. Then you enter a long restaurant with tables, ottoman like seats and a display counter. The service is good and the drinks are acceptable. The cake is a huge slice that easily feeds two..There is wifi and a...
Papa Costa's: Papa Costa's on Thursday night - THE place to be!
umasalam Says: OK - it is true that the service at Papa Costa's is well, say, unhurried. But you really won't mind that if you go on Thursday night when the Blue Stars band is providing the live music from about 9 until midnight. What a treat!!! Absolutely the best place to go in Khartoum...
Hamada Fried Chicken: surprisingly good
umasalam Says: Hamada Fried Chicken, located on Siteen Street near Omak in Manshia, looks from the outside like most any fast food fried chicken places in Cairo or even Baltimore. But it is more. It is a clean and pleasant place to grab lunch or to get dinner to go and it has a good...
uglyscot Says: This Egyptian run restaurant is classier than the others I've eaten in in Khartoum. The restaurant is upstairs and the decor is very nice- dark wood, ornaments in alcoves, tables wood with banguettes or chairs. The walls are long slivers of unpolished marble.The menu is good...

sebblit7 Says: Mickey Tarag of 5M Car hire in Khartoum is exceptionally friendly, professional and reasonable on price. He'll rent you a car/4x4/bus with driver at a great rate. During our last visit (Jan '06) we were charged US$90/day for a sedan (which turned out to be a small 4x4 -...
uglyscot Says: Not quite a transportation tip, but as it deals with traffic I'm putting it here.The road system in Khartoum has become quite complicated. The main roads are divided into carriageways, - right hand, left hand, and a wide central carriage way the seems to be dual and gives...
uglyscot Says: When shopping for fruit the choice is either the main market or from stalls along the road. In Amarat beside the cemetery are a line of stalls selling fruit and vegetables. Walk along and compare prices before buying so that you get a feel for the price.The fruit is usually...

Watch the locals fish in Jebel Olea
flynboxes Says: Jebel Olea is about an hour South of Khartoum. It is basically a big dam and some of the pictures I took here were no no's. It is a great place to spend a morning as there is a small fish market along the side of the road. Bring your photo permit here and check in with the...
