Karima, Sudan

Karima is the city in the north of Sudan where Jebel Barkal (see another post) is located. The 1st picture is at the port on the River Nile. As you can see in the 1st picture, it is a small, informal river port where locals bring products to the market here in small boats. Products are loaded from the boats to donkey carts as in the 2nd picture. Those sacks are dates. The Sudanese are a warm, welcoming, fun loving people.
The 3rd picture is the main market street looking from the high point at the river above the port. The market actually covers several blocks like this plus an area around the market where folks who don't not have shops set out their goods on the ground The 4th picture is an example of a seller and his stall.
The 5th picture is taken from atop Jebel Barkal looking over the town. The last is the entrance to the compound of the Nubia Rest House, our hotel. Thus is typical Sudanese architecture. The door is made of acacia woodBaca lagi
