The city of Khartoum is one of the most developed cities in Sudan. It has several industries running its economy. Agriculture, tourism, and fishing are few of the many businesses at Khartoum. It is second to Juba City for being the largest. It is very famous for the University of Khartoum, which is a historic institution in the country. It has a very eye-catching façade. The buildings inside this university are sometimes open to the public. It is hard to get inside without any permission. There are very strict rules implemented. It is expected for tourists who booked cheap flights to Khartoum to observe proper decorum when visiting this university. Also, consider visiting the White Nile that is just across this famous institution. It is just a few minutes away. There are also museums and establishments around including the Presidential Palace.
The Corinthia Hotel is one of the most famous hotels in Khartoum. It looks a lot like the Burj Al-Arab from Saudi Arabia. It is known for its quality service to tourists. Also, its facilities are way ahead of the other hotels found in the city. The price may not be very friendly but it is truly worth it.
The Tuti Island should always be on the itinerary when going for a trip to Khartoum. This beautiful stretch of white sand beach is definitely a haven for tourists. The view is very different from the desert-like feel at the heart of the city. This is a total escape from the usual tourist destinations offered not just in Khartoum but also in Sudan. Lovely is an understatement for its beauty. It is so clean and fresh.
This city is prone to sandstorms because of its very dry and hot climate. Avoid booking cheap flights to Khartoum during May and June because these are the hottest months of the year. Sandstorms are most likely to happen during these months. It is best to have a vacation during July. This is the most perfect time of the year because climate tends to be tropical. There is a little rainfall and a cold wind blows.
