"Dordouma" is the Sudanese interpretation of ice lollies or popsicles. They are the common street snack in the summer time all around Khartoum. It costs only 1 sudanese pound.
Dordoumas are basically frozen different local fruit juices. It comes in various colours and flavours; Hibiscus, guava, mango, baobab, tamarind. Tamarind and baobab are the main flavours all over the city.
They are made by freezing the juices in mini plastic packs and they are served by wrapping a piece of newspaper around it. All you have to do is rip the plastic packs and enjoy your "dordouma".
It has turned into a bit of an addiction for me, as I got used to getting one whenever I wait for my bus heading to Khartoum city centre. My favourite flavour is red guava as it is rich and quenches your thirst perfectly.
