Khartoum
Capital of Sudan
What guided this image
- Landmarks
- Blue Nile and White Nile; Tuti Island; Corinthia Hotel; Sudanese; Grand Mosque of Khartoum; Nile Street; Nile Street
- Viewpoint
- Favor a slightly elevated viewpoint overlooking the Nile confluence at Al Mogran, looking northeast across Tuti Island and the Blue Nile toward the riverfront of central Khartoum, capturing the meeting of the two rivers and the green belt along the banks.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the irrigated farms of Tuti Island, the riverbank vegetation, neem and acacia trees, and public gardens along the Nile.
- Guarded against
- Avoid making Khartoum look like Cairo (no ancient Egyptian pyramids or massive medieval Cairo stone walls), Dubai (no towering glass skyscraper canyons), or Marrakech (no red-clay riads).
