Although very poor, we found the Sudanese people to be very generous, hospitable and friendly.  A visit to Suakin was like stepping back to biblical times.

Overview
Since ancient times the Sudan has been an arena for interaction between the cultural traditions of Africa and those of the Mediterranean world. In recent centuries Islām and the Arabic language have achieved ascendancy in many northern parts of the country, while older African languages and cultures predominate in the south. Large parts of the country continue to rely on an agricultural and pastoral subsistence economy, but commercial agriculture�together with more limited mining and industrial development�plays a central role in the northern districts and in the national economy as a whole.1
