Khartoum:

 is the capital of Sudan, and of Khartoum State. The city is home to the University of Khartoum, founded in 1903 as Gordon Memorial College. Other universities are a branch of Cairo University and Khartoum Polytechnic University. Sudan National Museum has important holdings from the numerous ancient civilizations of the region. Larger Khartoum is the second largest city of Muslim North Africa. But apart from the colonial downtown, there is very little here differentiating it from villages around the country. Low scale one-storied houses stretch out for miles in all direction, out from the river junction that has given the capital its name. Paved streets are rare. Upper class quarters have now shrunk in, and has more in common with the surroundings that higher middle class live in elsewhere in the Arab world. Khartoum could have been a melting pot for all of Sudan's peoples, but has become a blender. Clothes worn, by women in particular, still manage to fascinate, but that's more or less it. When people here have managed to put up a house, just enough to give shelter and some feeling of privacy, then there are few incentives to move them on. A shop or a stall selling basic commodities will be the most advanced act.Things don't work all that good in Khartoum anymore. But it's the paradoxes that make Khartoum worth the visit. Inevitably you ask yourself: How come there are millions of people living right here? What keeps them alive? The conclusion can be: Khartoum is the world's largest waiting room.
