Since it has been raining quite a lot the past couple of weeks, the Nile strated rising extremely quick.
One of the things to try when you're in Sudan, is the black henna body art. It is temporary and lasts for about couple of weeks if you take care of it. The black henna does not suit everyone as it cause an allergic reaction if your skin is sensitive. It looks very good, almost similar to a real tattoo.
What's funny about the currency here in Sudan is that it is not recognised outside the country. You can't take money with you and expect to change it somewhere outside of the country. That's why foreigners and locals tend to change their money into whatever currency before they leave.
The notes start from 1 which is the lowesr up to 50 which is the highest. The currency is called Sudanese Pounds or 'ginaih'.
One thing to keep in mind once it rains in Khartoum, is the after effects. The weather becomes surprisingly pleasant, however, the roads and streets turn into a massive disaster and walking on the inside streets will be a mission impossible. Having said all that, it is still better than getting burnt by the daily sun.
Agashy is one of the cheapest meat dishes you can find here in Sudan. It is spiced grilled meat covered with breadcrumbs. Personally, I love how tasty and cheap it is, I prefer eating it in a sandwich rather than on its own simply because the special sauce they use goes very well with the meat.
