Karima Museum, Archaeological museum at Jebel Barkal, Northern State, Sudan.
The Karima Museum displays statues, inscriptions, and artifacts discovered during excavations near the Temple of Amun and surrounding archaeological sites in Northern Sudan.
The museum collection includes numerous items from the Kingdom of Kush period, when Napata served as a capital city during the 8th century BCE.
The exhibition halls contain ceremonial objects and religious artifacts that demonstrate the strong connection between ancient Egyptian and Nubian civilizations in this region.
Information panels throughout the museum provide explanations in English, and visitors can purchase tickets for nearby archaeological sites directly at the entrance.
The museum building stands next to the sandstone mountain of Jebel Barkal, which ancient Egyptians considered the residence of the god Amun.
