Learn more about hotels in Khartoum

Khartoum, the capital and largest city of Sudan, is home to over five million people. Founded in 1821 and gaining its independence in 1956, it holds a grand history. The city is uniquely positioned at the confluence of the White Nile and Blue Nile, known locally as al-Mogran, making it a tripartite city comprising Khartoum proper, Khartoum North, and Omdurman.

Once heavily influenced by British rule, the city has grown into a crucial economic hub and a cultural treasure house, home to institutions like the National Museum of Sudan and the University of Khartoum. The precise origin of its name remains a mystery, adding to the city's allure. It has borne witness to significant historical events and transformations, from the Siege of Khartoum in 1884 through to the Sudanese Revolution.
