Sudan National Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Mogran, Khartoum, Sudan.
The Sudan National Botanical Garden covers about 11 acres in the Al Mogran area of Khartoum, where the White Nile meets the Blue Nile, northwest of Sudan University of Science and Technology. It holds a collection of living plants and a herbarium, and is run by the federal Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation.
The garden was established in 1954 and is listed among the oldest botanical gardens in Africa. It is administratively affiliated with the federal Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation. Its units include seed collection, acclimatization, genetic resources conservation, classification, and exchange with international gardens and research centres.
The garden was created to showcase Sudan's plant diversity and help people understand the different ecosystems found across their country. Visitors come to see the plants that grow in their own region and notice how the vegetation changes from one part of Sudan to another.
The garden and its grounds are open on official working days, Sunday to Thursday, from 09:00 to 15:00, and entry requires a ticket bought at the gate. It lies in the Al Mogran area, northwest of the Sudan University of Science and Technology, near the confluence of the White and Blue Nile.
The site works as a living museum where Sudan's different plant zones are arranged side by side in a compact area. Walking through, visitors can move from desert plants to tropical vegetation in just a few minutes and experience all of Sudan's climate zones in miniature.
