Summary

Sudan is vast, ranging from desert lands in the north to tropical forest in the south.  Its wildlife rivals eastern Africa and it is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in Africa. This is the only stand-alone guide on the market and delves deep into the country’s past, bringing to life its cultural heritage and history. Improved infrastructure has made the archaeological riches of the Sudanese Nile more accessible; the marine wonders of the Red Sea remain one of the world’s greatest diving sites.
