While I like warm temperature, the 42 to 55 degrees centigrade (shadow !) of Khartoum I on a visit there found a bit of a challenge. I after (having been in Sana'a for a week in the meantime) the flight back found Cairo refreshing indeed.

My visit was in the Numeiry years and so, alcohol was no problem, but there were not too many tourists around in Khartoum.
Speaking about Khartoum, to look out north from the Meridien and to see the two niles coming together but being separate by colour for quite a distance is a unique thing
