Sudan's Ancient Pyramids

Sudan has more pyramids than Egypt, and more than half of them are still existing, which is both remarkable and sometimes neglected. More than 200 pyramids of varying sizes may be seen in the village of Meroe, which creates a stunning sight. Despite the fact that they resemble those in Cairo, they are not the same. In comparison to the well-known Egyptian pyramids, they are steeper because of their smaller bases. Sudan's pyramids, like the El Kurru necropolis, which once contained the tomb of illustrious King Tanutamun, were created as burial places for the Nubian rulers. When you step inside now, you'll see the beautiful paintings that adorn the walls and highlight significant events from this illustrious king's reign.

Even while the ruins in Sudan might not be as beautiful as those in Egypt, what makes the experience there special is that you won't have to compete with other tourists for images, deal with pushy postcard vendors, or ride camels around the ruins. In fact, you will be able to enjoy the ancient site in peace and in virtually isolated surroundings.
