Nuri Pyramids- Travel Tips
What to See, How to Plan & Tours- Historical & Cultural
- 5 Reviews
Nuri, located in northern Sudan, is the site of a royal necropolis that served as the burial ground for the kings and queens of the ancient Kingdom of Kush. The site is home to over 20 pyramids, with the oldest dating back to around 670 BCE. These pyramids, which were built over a span of more than three centuries, include the pyramid of King Taharqa, which is notably aligned with the sunrise on Egyptian New Year's Day. Nuri's pyramids are smaller than those of Egypt and, although some are heavily degraded, they still contain valuable artifacts from the Kushite rulers. The site, part of the UNESCO World Heritage list since 2003, was partially excavated in the early 20th century and continues to be explored today.

A World Heritage Site: a very interesting and energetic ancient historical place. However: No any tourist infrastructure.
