Sudan has a huge tourist wealth on the Nile River, including about 100 natural islands in the northern regions of the country, but it lacks infrastructure, services and definition of the nature of the region.
Recently, researchers discovered a fossilized forest dating back millions of years, in which trees turned into rocks, but they suffer neglect.
In Sudan, there are more than 100 islands mediating the Nile River in northern Sudan, including the Kasinger Islands, which in the Nubian language means the narrow road.
But this scenic natural beauty remained neglected, as there is no infrastructure that attracts tourists, nor decent housing nor services, but people hardly know anything about these tourist attractions.
The population of the tourist islands is about 7 thousand people.
They practice agriculture traditionally, producing beans, beans, alfalfa and some vegetables.
But they feel isolated from the services offered by modern life.
Those interested in heritage lament the weakness of scientific research efforts to uncover the secrets of a national wealth that may revolutionize the world of archaeology.
Idris Jaafar, a forest official in the Meroe region in northern Sudan, says, "Every stone in northern Sudan has a treasure and a story under it, most likely ... and it may reveal access to its truth unless it occurs to researchers in archeology."
