Hi Guys,

I have been a keen and close follower of this forum for many months now. It has kept me updated with my beloved home city, Khartoum and for that I cannot thank you guys enough. Following my recent short visit to Khartoum I would like to share with you a few pictures I have taken.

[kitayabi]

welcome aboard Sudanleaks, we are always grateful for new contributors

[kitayabi]

if you have any questions on how to post please do ask

[Waluigi]

Great city. No doubt where I'm gonna stay if i sometime visit (Yeah, you've guessed it. The Burj Al Fateh)

The Greater Nile Petrolium Building and Alfatih Tower is also very nice building. And I like the traditional styles, like Qatari Embassy.

[badro96]

Just make sure you check the prices at Al Fateh tower before you get yourself too excited

[Sudanleaks]

Thanks Kityiabi, what site do you recommend uploading the photos to
