Sudan National Museum, Khartoum State, Sudan

4.0 (252 reviews) Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Khartoum Speciality Museums

Our guide made all the difference.

I visited this museum twice, once with a museum-employed guide and once without. The guide made all the difference explaining all the exhibits and answering questions. One of the statues is of a Nubian pharaoh mentioned in the Bible! This really is a must see when you are in Sudan. Outside the museum there are artists selling their original works, as well.

    Good collection of objects and jaw droppingly well-preserved temples
    The collection of the museum could, as noted by other viewers, be better lit and labelled, but it is certainly impressive, and spans prehistory to Christianity. There are a select few specialist objects which will really intrigue those deeply interested in ancient Egypt and Nubia, such as the Uronarti Stela of Senwosret III of Egypt. The temples (Kumna, Semna and Buhen) outside are the highlight of the visit. I simply couldn't believe how well-preserved they had been after being saved from Lake Nasser. There is original paint still visible, especially in the Buhen temple, which I admittedly shed a few tears at. I was lucky enough to be able to sit in the temple alone later on and soak up the beautiful walls and scenery whilst mulling over my thoughts. Absolutely stunning, and a truly atmospheric experience.

    Small simple museum
    Quite a small collection of things at the museum... displayed in glass cases for small items and the larger Egyptian/ Nubian relics are out in the open- easy to touch if you were inclined. Some interesting artifacts on display, not a lot of information provided. Outside there are three enclosed areas containing reconstructed temples- worth a look! Entry was 10 SUD. Not the most exciting museum but it was open and filled some time.
