Tuti Island

This island sits at the very confluence of the Blue and White Niles, opposite central Khartoum, where the two great rivers merge. Long inhabited by farming communities, it retains a village character of small fields, palm groves and traditional houses within sight of the capital's skyline. A suspension bridge now links it to the city. Known as the garden of Khartoum, the island offers a striking contrast between rural life and the surrounding metropolis at one of Africa's most famous river junctions.
