The Nubian Rest House is located at the food of the old holy Mountain Jebel Berkal in Karima, Sudan. We arrived on a journey from Khartoum to the border in Wadi Halfa. The tuk-tuk drivers at the minibus station in town knew immediately where to take us (it's about 2km - shouldn't cost more than 20SDP) and to take us... More

Spent a couple of nights here travelling with friends visiting Sudan. This is the place to choose as a base to explore the surroundings, and there is plenty to see and experience. The heat is on and the pace is slow, and you really enjoy returning to the Nubian Rest-house where you are well taken care of. Lovely gardens, attentive... More

With a view of Jebel Barkal, this is a tastefully designed hotel using traditional materials and building techniques (brick domes, shady terraces, stucco), to create an interesting, secure and pleasant compound with terraced rooms surrounding a green lawn bordered by scented shrubs. There is a large and cool bar/dining terrace and restaurant building decorated with attractive, well chosen, antiques. All... More

The food was also very good and we indulged on garden grown salads without getting sick. The location... More

We stubled across this place by accident. The "guest house" we were staying at down the road was disgusting beyond decription so we went looking and found this place. the price is very high but we negotiated a room only price. Pity about the very hot rooms so most of us spent the night on the lawn. At the price... More

This is the only "proper" hotel for many many miles around. We were given a good rate when we turned up as a group on spec. It was a haven of civilization after rough nights on the road, beautifully built with high brick domed rooms reminiscent of pizza ovens, with good towels, showers and linen. Sadly the weather meant that... More
