Khartoum, capital of Sudan

Khartoum, Sudan
My next stop was the capital of Khartoum. Khartoum is huge and the distances are quite big, no matter where you want to go. Also, it was very difficult to find the youth hostel. Yes, there is really a youth hostel in Khartoum. It is clean, good and inexpensive. The location is not perfect, but it is not possible to have everything at the same time!

One of the best things to do in Khartoum is visitng the derwishes friday evening at Hamed el Nil in Omdurman. This is just great. Most of them are dressed in grren and red, the sing and dance. It is very dusty, very hot, very hot and very interesting!
After three hours there, I had the feeling, that I look like a derwish myself...
