Our first souk tour, to Souk al-Arabi. There are several souks (markets) in Khartoum and Omdurman, filled with people, food, jewlery and other goods.
Us trying to take pictures from the taxi. We promise you better pictures of the Nile (and in general) at a later occasion.
This is why you don't fly Sudanese Airways. Enough said...
The streets of Khartoum are somewhat (!) dusty, which reflects the state of our feet getting back home. Nope, not tanned, just dusty...
Rickshaws are a common way of getting around short distance. We do have a slight communication problem, though.
The White Nile.
Christina has a slight problem with reactions to bug bites. Luckily, the pharmacy gives out antibiotic cream like it was candy. Mosquito bites and antibiotic resistant strains: watch it!

Hamada's mother made us some traditional Sudanese food. It was delicious, and fills the stomach up for the rest of the day=)

  2. Saa goey aa lese bloggen deres! Jeg nikker gjenkjennende til noen av historiene og humrer naar jeg ser dere for meg i et til tider kaotisk Khartoum. Godt at dere har funnet dere til rette saa langt! Et lite tips: Amarat Centre istedet for Afra Mall. Finnes baade i Amarat (samme gate som German Club) og Riyad.

    Klem Hege
