The kids will enjoy the numerous archaeological sites concentrated at one single place. Lying in the Northern Quarries, there is an unfinished Obelisk which is around 42m in length. Due to some flaw detected in the stone it was abandoned by the stone masons. Apart from this they can visit the Botanical Garden on the Kitchener’s Island.

Another great treasure trove is the International Museum of Nubia. Built in 1997, this building is spread over an area of 50,000 square meters. This museum houses some 3000 antiquities and artifacts which depict the Nubian culture and the development of this civilization.
