Meroë East Necropolis

In northern Sudan, the Meroe region is an archaeological tourist area distinguished by its rich history.

Being here is just unexplainable. You are transported back in time. You walk a trail that leads to various tombs of Kings and Queens set against a breathtaking setting of the desert valley and rolling dunes. Each pyramid is unique in its own way, and shines at sunset/sunrise, the best time to visit. When you are the lone tourist here, you feel like the whole place is yours, and you can just sit there for hours in solitude. There are camel rides if the trail feels too long, and there is a small market out front.

One of my my favourite moments of our entire trip was watching the sun set over the beautiful desert sands at the Pyramids of Meroë. This was quite possibly one of the most astonishing sunrises I’ve seen. Loved it so much that we came back a 2nd time for sunrise the next day.

Certainly the best archeological site in Sudan in my opinion. Spectacular views of the pyramids in the sandy desert. Some of the pyramids are fairly well preserved.

Simply beautiful. The ignored history of these Nubian pyramids is astonishing. You get to have the whole site to yourself. You can also camp next to the pyramids either in the permanent camp or find a cheaper option (bring your own tent or find a local guide).

Amazing place, a lot of history, and you get to learn a lot about an ancient civilization. Also has good souvenir options.

Pyramids of times of the Meroe Kingdom of the Kushite civilization - a World Heritage Site - a part of a serial site called Meroe Island. The pyramids of a king's cemetery are, maybe, the best historical place in Sudan to see - a visit card of Sudanese Antiquities. Nearby there is a European hotel of a camping style.

Pyramids of Meroe or as we call it in traditional language " Pyramids of Al-Bagrawiyah " is one of the most historical and cultural places in Sudan and the best direction to the tourists coming from outside the country to discover the story of Meroe Pharaohs and their pyramids those some of anthropologist said it's older than Giza's pyramids !
