Tuti Island

Tuti Island is a river island where the White Nile and Blue Nile meet, with grasslands and crop fields forming its main features. The land includes citrus orchards and narrow paths used by donkeys and small vehicles for getting around.

Settlement started in the late 15th century and grew into a farming village that kept its agricultural character through the years. A bridge completed in 2008 changed how the island connects to nearby cities.

The people living here maintain farming practices passed down through generations, shaping how the island looks and functions today. Their work shows how a community keeps its way of life even as the city grows around it.

The island can be reached by bridge from the surrounding cities, making entry and exit straightforward. It is small enough to explore on foot or by using local transportation.

The island supplies Khartoum with fruit and vegetables using farming methods passed down over many generations. This role as a food source for the city is often overlooked compared to its location at the river junction.
