Khartoum extends across the meeting point of the White and Blue Nile rivers, forming a natural division between the city's three main districts.

The Egyptian forces established Khartoum as a military outpost in 1821, which rapidly developed into Sudan's administrative and commercial center.

The National Museum of Sudan in Khartoum presents collections of artifacts from ancient Nubian kingdoms, including preserved temples and archaeological findings.

The city temperature ranges from 25°C to 45°C throughout the year, requiring visitors to carry water and schedule outdoor activities during morning hours.

The Presidential Palace in Khartoum stands where General Gordon died in 1885, marking a critical moment in Sudanese and British colonial history.
