    Shuhada is probably the best place to eat in Omdurman, although there is nothing special. Titanic has the best shish kebabs this side of the Nile, while Magic Pizza and Delicious do pizza fairly well. The Green Cafe, right in the corner, and its rival Lu'Lu' Ash-Sham (Pearl of Damascus) are popular for juices and sandwiches. There is an excellent and cheap fuul restaurant on the other side of the square, which also specializes in sheep heads and very loud music which are not to my tastes but prove popular with the locals. Other than that, head to a dukkan for a hearty bowl of fuul.

    Fried fish
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you get bored with the standard offerings of fuul and kebabs, then head over to Omdurman, getting off the bus when you see a series of road-side stalls close to the Nile (it sounds vague, but they are quite obvious!). Here you'll find fried fish in batter, freshly caught in the Nile. Choose a stall with plenty of people eating from it....empty stalls tend to be bad stalls. Don't be shocked when the whole fish arrives in batter, with an enormous eye peering at you...this is just the normal way of presenting it. You eat it with bread or fingers, ripping the flesh from the bones (there is usually a sink available to wash your greasy mitts afterwards!).

    I have no idea how much this costs...we were invited by one of our students who wouldn't allow us to pay for anything. But it is unlikely to be expensive.

    Rivera Park: good for wedding receptions
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • this was originally built as a restaurant with a large dining room, outside areas with streams and bridges and a play area for children.
    However, it has now become very popular as a venue for wedding receptions, and a huge hall catering for thousands has been builtm with a dias for the bride and groom to sit and greet guests, a n area for the band and dancing. \tables with comfortable chairs seat the guests.

    The food is well prepared. At weddings the guests get a plate with portions of meat, fish, chicken , salad, felafel, feta cheese, and s piece of sweet pastry.

    Shuhada
  • Satisfaction:
  • Shuhada is the big market/bus station in front of Omdurman Souk. It's one of the central areas of Omdurman and a good place to hang out and have a bite to eat. Most of the food Sudan offers is available here - from dirt cheap fuul to pizza places, and then some ice cream and Turkish cakes. There's a good place to play pool as well when you've done eating.

    Can't really remember most of the names of restaurants - Titanic and Green Cafe spring to mind for good burgers, kebabs and fruit juice.
