Sudan terrain

Sudan terrain

Sudan's lands in general are a flat sedimentary plain that descends slightly from east and west towards the center and the entire plain descends from south to north, interspersed with heights covering less than 5% of its total area.

Its terrain varies:

Alluvial plains in the center, like the plains of the island

    Deserts such as the Bayoda Desert, the Nubia Desert, and the Al-Atamur Desert

    Semi-desert in the north

    Moist Savannah (rich in weeds) and dried in the center, south-east and southeast,

    A series of twisting hills in the east and north-east, such as the hills of the Red Sea, the Nuba Mountains in Kordofan and the Ingusena Mountains in Blue Nile State

    Secluded hills in separate areas in the center, such as the Gedaref hills in the east and Jabal al-Dair in the west,

    Volcanic mountains in the far west and east, such as Jebel Marra in Darfur, the Taka Mountains, Mount Totel in Kassala State and Mount Medop in the northwestern corner, in addition to a coastal strip on the Red Sea.

The lands of Sudan are divided by numerous rivers, valleys, creeks and water tributaries, seasonal and permanent, the most famous of which is the Nile River, which is the most important geomorphological phenomenon in Sudan, as it extends to about 1700 km from the south to the north, and the Nile Basin and its tributaries in Sudan cover about 2.5 million hectares. The tributaries of the Nile include:

White Nile

    Blue Nile

    Atbara

    State

    Dinder

    Peace Sea

    The Rahad

Seasonal valleys such as:

    Gash River

    Khor Toker

Others are dry, such as Wadi Hawar and Wadi Al Malak, along with a number of ponds, swamps and seasonal creeks that overflow during the rainy season in the summer. In addition to the six waterfalls of the Nile that start with the second waterfall in Halfa (the first waterfall in Aswan, Egypt) and end with the waterfall of Sablouqa, north of Khartoum.
