Visit Central Darfur


The Central Darfur region of Sudan is a vast expanse of desert terrain that was once home to several ancient civilizations. It is bordered by the provinces of West and South Darfur, and its capital city is Zalingei. The area's climate varies from hot to extremely dry, depending on the season.

Central Darfur has many tourist attractions that showcase the beauty and culture of the region including Al-Fashir Mosque, which was built in 1780 by Sultan Suleiman Masoud Ibn Adam; Al-Fashir Hot Springs; Jebel Marra Nature Reserve; Sultan Suleiman Palace, and much more. For those looking for an adventure, there are numerous safari tours available throughout Central Darfur's wild areas full of wildlife like antelope, lions, hyenas and cheetahs.

A fascinating historical fact about Central Darfur relates to its origins as part of a Nubian Empire in 1000 AD spanning over what now includes modern day Chad and Egypt. After years of decline due to civil war in Sudan during mid 20th century, its archaeological sites have been left relatively untouched offering insight into history for visitors curious about cultures past and present living side by side within this diverse province today.
