The Sudan or Sudan (/suːˈdæn, -ˈdɑːn/ ( listen); Arabic: السودان as-Sūdān) also known as North Sudan since South Sudan's independence and officially the Republic of the Sudan (Arabic: جمهورية السودان Jumhūriyyat as-Sūdān), is a country in Northern Africa. It is bordered by Egypt to the north, the Red Sea, Eritrea and Ethiopia to the east, South Sudan to the south, the Central African Republic to the southwest, Chad to the west and Libya to the northwest. It is the third largest country in Africa covering 1,886,068 square kilometres (728,215 sq mi). The White Nile flows through the country, emptying into Lake Nubia in the north, the largest manmade lake in the world. The River Nile divides the country into eastern and western halves. Before the Sudanese Civil War, South Sudan was part of Sudan, but it became independent in 2011.

I was in Khartoum and Omdurman over the past week. I did go into the Al Khalifa House. It took a bit of persistence. There is a sign that says that it is closed for maintenance. But, the guard eventually let me in and he walked around with me. There is a small-domed (Mosque-like) roof inside with crescent moon ornament that I was told was the original site of the l Mahdi tomb. BTW, for those that are interested, you can view the entire Omdurman battlefield if you take a taxi or tuk-tuk (or walk about 5 miles as I ended up doing!) to the small town of Kerrari , just north of Omdurman. From the arrival point at the outskirts of the town, walk across the Nile bridge. Although the town has now covered over the center of the battlefield, and there is a military installation on Jebel Surghum, from the crest of the bridge, you will easily see the Jebel Surghum, the Kerrari Hills in the distance and the area of the camp established by Kitchener on the bank of the NIle. Good panoramic view.
