Impressive site in the desert, appr. 200 km north-east of Khartoum/Sudan close to the village Bagrawija.
it once was the capital kingdom of Kush and today we can find mostly ruins of the nubian pyramids and only a few are well preserved.
Due to the polizical situation in Sudan it is difficult to visit the site, but if you get the chance, it is a stunning experience.
