Nobody Seems To Love Sudan's History Less Than The One In Charge of This Museum. Sadly the place is run on peanuts and it shows at every turn. The Sudanese treasures are lovelessly presented in poor light and dusty vitrines. The sleepy guards gathered in front of a fan made in Korea have no other interest than to go home, and so did we.

The museum has artifacts laid out over two floors with some tombs and statues outside covered for rain protection. The museum is quite stuffy - when I went, the fans were not turned on. It’s however a good introduction to the archaeological wonders of Sudan.

It is so nice place to know the history of Sudan. Beautiful art and sculptures are displayed there. Ancient monuments can be seen here. After visiting the museums of Sudan and Egypt, so similarities could be seen.

Amazing place to learn about Sudan. One of the underrated countries, living in the shadow of Egypt. They have almost as amazing culture and history as Egypt but little do people know about it. The only issue is with infrastructure and a bit of the airport drama here and there.

A good place to learn about Sudan. Visitors are allowed to take photos using smartphone, but limited to the ground floor only. For the first floor, no camera allowed. What interesting about the 1st floor is they displayed some historical items and old manuscripts from sudanese Christian's period.
