Waiting for the ferry to Egypt
Wadi Halfa is a pretty nondescript town, at the far northern tip of Sudan. On the days the ferry docks (once a week), there is a load of people around and the atmosphere is quite lively. On other days, it's quite boring and there is not much going on... ...

SUDAN BOOT CAMP
This journey from Wadi Halfa to Khartoum,was no easy ride and put me in mind of boot camp! Transport was slow,poorly timetabled and on bad roads. Hotels were mostly basic lokandas with nowhere to lock baggage,and everyone sleeping out in open ...

Wadi Halfa - the next big thing

A Town Built to Leave
Wadi Halfa is not a town anyone would choose to visit. Without the weekly ferry, it is difficult to see why it would even exist. There are no 'holy mountains', pyramids, temples, museums or anything particularly worth seeing. The closest I ...
Khartoum to Wadi Halfa, fourth leg
... was done on the road. In a number of years it will be possible to drive Cape to Cairo on tarmac. (Apart from the Aswan to Wadi Halfa ferry). In order to fill in the last bits the Chinese and Koreans are working their butts off. And the butts of Sudanese, ...
Waiting in Wadi Halfa

AFRICA!!!!!

Taking the ferry on the Nile

Arrival in Wadi Halfa
It took us 17 hours to cross Lake Nasser from Aswan to Wadi Halfa, although the ferry was a real pit and every bit of floor space crowded with people and their belongings and the toilets were disgusting, this dreaded ferry crossing did not turn out as ...
Sandy Sudan in the HOT Sun
