A Land Shaped by the Nile: History and Diversity
Located in northeastern Africa, Sudan is the third-largest country on the continent. It shares borders with
seven countries, including Egypt and Libya, and has a strategic coastline along the Red Sea, connecting
Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The Nile River runs through the country, nurturing civilisations and facilitating cultural and economic
exchanges.
Sudan is home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, symbolising its diversity, including Gebel Barkal
and the Napatan region, influenced by Nubian civilisation, and Sanganeb and Dungonab Bay Marine
Reserves, rich in marine life.
Sudan is a land of cultural and natural wealth.
