Meroe Sites
The ancient royal cemetery of Meroe is one of Sudan's most spectacular sights. The Meroitic pharaohs thrived from 592 BC until overrun by the Abyssinians in AD 350. Although nothing here compares with better-known sites in Egypt, the clusters of narrow pyramids blanketing the sand-swept hills are quite a sight, and there's not a tout pushing camel rides within 100km.
Some well-preserved hieroglyphics can still be seen in the tombs' antechambers, and even the graffiti here dates back centuries!
You can also visit the remains of the Royal City itself, but it's for archaeological buffs only.

National Museum
The National Museum in Khartoum is dwarfed by the modern buildings nearby but has some fine exhibits in its dusty halls, most notably the pharaonic stone carvings and the stunning Nubian Christian frescoes. Located not far from the confluence of the Blue and White Nile, the museum gardens also house several Kushite and Egyptian temples saved during the creation of the Aswan Dam.

Omdurman
The traditional Muslim city of Omdurman, founded by the Mahdi in the 1880s, and forming one third of Khartoum, is one of Sudan's big attractions. Its famous souq - the largest in the country - has an amazing variety of wares, and the camel market (Souq Moowaileh) is equally spectacular.
