Sudan Itinerary
On the tracks of the Black Pharaohs
Sudan is still a not tourist destination, but this incredible country boasts a rich thousand-years archaeological heritage that makes it incredibly fascinating. Taking a trip to Sudan means finding yourself catapulted into a pristine Africa, surrounded by ancient pyramids, desert landscapes, green and lush banks of the Nile, colourful markets and above all, a smiling and friendly population that will make your journey a unique experience. Our trip on the “track of the Black Pharaohs” starts from the bustling Khartoum and touches the most relevant attractions of the Nubian region, including the worldwide known Unesco Heritage site of Meroe.

Hi Alex, we travelled with Amal Tour and travel. It’s a very good local tour operator!
I watched the video and was really exciting. Sudan is now on my list!
Thank you so much!
Hi travelwithbrothers! I’d like to ask you what are the attractions not to be missed. I don’t know yet how long I ll be able to stay in Sudan and in case I wish to get the most of it. I can tell Meroe is stunning but looking at the video and pics you took , I really don’t know what to choose. Everything looks amazing!
Hello Jordan! Our 7 days itinerary is perfect to enjoy the most interesting attraction of Nubia. If you have only a very few days, I suggest visiting the only Karima and Meroe.
