When in Sudan, tourists would be wise to stay in the general area of Khartoum, the capital where the Blue and White Niles meet. Outside this area, passport and VISA restrictions are abundant and safety is questionable. There is plenty within this area to keep visitors busy.
Khartoum proper- housing the National Museum of Sudan, the University of Khartoum, the gorgeous Al Kabir Mosque, a WWII cemetery where no bodies lie, the free and peaceful Botanic Gardens, and Souk Arabi- is linked by bridges to Khartoum North (a.k.a. al-Khartūm Bahrī) and Omdurman (Umm Durmān). In Khartoum North, politically-inclined tourists may wish to visit the rubble of the al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory, destroyed by US missiles because of suspected ties with al-queda. Tourist destinations include the clothing souq- a market selling cheap materials and clothing- and Bahri Beach- a popular swimming destination; dressing rooms are not present at the souq and locals may bathe unclothed at the beach.
In Omdurman, historically-minded tourists should visit the Khalifa’s house, a museum dedicated to 19th century Omdurman history. Tourists may join the engaging nightlife at Omdurman Park and respectfully visit Hamed Al Nil mosque on Fridays where the Whirling Dervishes chant and dance. The safest way to travel Sudan is by railroad, but haggled taxies unreliable buses are available. Ships are subject to piracy; those leaving the continent should travel by air. In Brazil, there are diverse paths a tourist can take.
Visitors often choose to explore the lush Amazon rainforest; spend time in Rio de Janerio soaking in the artistic culture of the City of Samba, riding Sugar Loaf cable cars, and viewing the famed Christ the Redeemer statue; visit beaches along the cost; and tour the historically-oriented region of Minas Gerais. Bus travel is recommended for tourists, though cars are available for rent.
