This is the main bus station in downtown Khartoum. We spent a lot of time here, as all city buses are directed to this station. We found Khartoum to be filled with buses, so much so that it is difficult to find any picture that we took of the city that does not include at least one bus in it.
Downtown Khartoum. Sudan is a dusty place, and a large percentage of the streets downtown are still dirt. Also, even some streets that were paved were overtaken by dirt.

Dogs taking a break from the heat of mid-day. Wild dogs are were common sight wherever we went.
