The River

Khartoum is built at the confluence of the White and Blue Niles. 

I wanted to get a photo of the river but that was not allowed.  I had to get a permit to take any photo at all.  Because Sudan is in the middle of a civil war no photos may be taken of any bridges.

I had to have a photo of the river so I took photos of my feet in the water of the Nile. The police who were everywhere could not have found a problem with that! 

 

 

I did take some pictures of the river and hoped that I would not be caught. 

All the fields along the river are flooded in winter.

Khartoum is a huge city and is made up of three parts - Khartoum itself, Khartoum North and Omdurman.  There are about eight bridges crossing the river. 

It is so beautiful.
