Khartoum in five emoji

What each emoji refers to

🔺

Sudan has more pyramids than Egypt, over two hundred of them, built by the Kushite kings at Meroë.

🌊

The two Niles meet at al-Mogran, and for a stretch below the junction the different-coloured water runs side by side.

🐫

Camels are walked north from here along old desert routes towards the Egyptian markets.

🏜️

The Nubian desert to the north is among the driest places on earth, with some areas recording no rain for years.

☀️

Summer temperatures pass forty degrees routinely, and the haboob dust storms arrive before the rains.
