8 Amazing Pitstops for Your European Travels
5. Kharthoum
The historic meeting of the Blue and White Nile rivers is a key sightseeing trip in the Sudanese capital, second only to the sight of the Whirling Dervishes at sunset every Friday. After that, visitors head north to the Nubian desert to marvel at the black pyramids of Sudan, more plentiful and just as beautiful as those found in Egypt.
Designed to resemble a ship’s sail is Corinthia Hotel Khartoum in the city’s commercial district and overlooking the confluence of the two Nile rivers. With just over 200 rooms, extensive and multi-purpose events facilities, a well-equipped spa and gym and a choice of six restaurants and cafes – including the city’s highest eaterie on the 18th floor it is the natural choice when visiting this bustling city.
