'''Khartoum''' is the capital city of [[Sudan]]. It sits at the confluence of the Blue and the White Nile, whose branches divide the city into three parts - Khartoum, Omdurman and Bahri (Khartoum North).

Take a bus from Souq El-Arabi to Soba at the southern outskirts of the cityfor 2 SDG. Get off at the last station, which is already on the road to Wad Madani. Continue walking a bit along the road and start hitching from there. You should get a ride within a few minutes.

There are places to camp down by the river, and a very cool place would be near the confluence of the two Niles. You can take a bus out here. People will be curious, but rarely give you problems. Camping should be possible on Tuti Island, which is located between the White and the Blue Nile. Most likely you will be invited by locals to stay at there house.

A great Couchsurfing community to boot. If you are heading South towards Ethiopia, many buses depart to Gedaref. These are cheap, have AC and make stops for food.
