Khartoum
Capital of Sudan • At the Meeting of the Blue Nile & White Nile
Overview
Khartoum is the capital of Sudan and one of the country’s most important urban centers. It lies in east central Sudan where the Blue Nile and White Nile meet and continue northward as the Nile River.
Where Two Niles Meet
Khartoum’s location is defined by the meeting of two great waterways. The White Nile arrives from the south and the Blue Nile from the southeast. Their confluence has helped make the area an important center for transportation, trade, and settlement.
A 19th Century City
Khartoum developed as an Egyptian military camp beginning in 1821 and soon became an important regional center. Its position along the Nile helped it grow into a hub for government and commerce.
Khartoum, Omdurman & Bahri
Khartoum is part of a much larger metropolitan area that includes Omdurman and Khartoum North, also known as Bahri. The three cities are connected by bridges across the Blue Nile and White Nile and together form Sudan’s largest urban area.
A National Center
Khartoum has long served as a major center of Sudanese government, education, transportation, and commerce. Institutions associated with the city include the University of Khartoum, one of the country’s most prominent universities.
A City Shaped by Conflict
Khartoum has experienced severe destruction and disruption during the war that began in Sudan in 2023. Despite the damage and displacement caused by the fighting, the city’s location at the meeting of the two Niles and its longstanding national importance remain central to its identity.
