From the Back Cover
While the crisis in the
western region is devastating, the end to civil war in
the south has inspired a spirit of optimism in Sudan.
This is a land of delightful contrast, boasting desert
caravans, lush river valleys and more pyramids than
Egypt itself. It offers the intrepid visitor a
fulfilling cultural experience in one of Africa's most
hospitable countries.
Paul Clammer shows in this, the first comprehensive
guide to Sudan, that beyond troubled Darfur lies an
extraordinary country, and a culture of kindness to
strangers. Discover the archaeological riches of Kush
and Nubia, scuba dive in the Red Sea, or relax on a Nile
cruise through colorful Khartoum.
Inside you will find information on:
* Security, visas and border crossings
* Where to stay and eat, and how to get around
* Detailed coverage of culture and history
* Sudan's civil war in context, and information for aid
workers.....More
