Sudan

Africa

Sudan is home to more ancient pyramids than Egypt, yet remains one of Africa's most overlooked destinations. The Nubian kingdoms of Kush and Meroe left behind extraordinary monuments in the desert sands. Sudan's diverse cultures, the meeting of the Blue and White Nile in Khartoum, and its warm and welcoming people make it a fascinating destination for history-seekers.
