The world often paints Sudan (Previously the largest nation in Africa) as a hazard zone and disregards it as a tourist friendly country. However, the country’s true nature offers travelers both incredible solitude and hospitality, from its deserts to its rich civilization relics dating back from pre-Pharonic Egypt to the shorelines of the Red Sea to the Taka Massif, The grandeur river Nile and the green west. But most importantly, hospitality at its best.

A Sudanese group of Facebook called el-Mastaba recently opened up a platform through a hashtag called #elViewsFromSudan for its almost 3000 members to share images of Sudan captured through their lenses, and the result was incredible. Shortly the group was filled with heart trenching images of everyday Sudan, of incredible nature and the beautiful and warm faces of mother Africa. These are my favorite picks right here, Enjoy!
