Meroë
Meroë /ˈmɛroʊeɪ/ (also spelled Meroe) is an ancient city on the east bank of the Nile about 6 km north-east of the Kabushiya station near Shendi, Sudan, approximately 200 km north-east of Khartoum. Near the site are a group of villages called Bagrawiyah. This city was the capital of the Kingdom of Kush for several centuries. The Kushitic Kingdom of Meroë gave its name to the Island of Meroë, which was the modern region of Butana, a region bounded by the Nile, the Atbarah, and the Blue Nile.
Nubian pyramids
Nubian pyramids are pyramids that were built by the rulers of the Kushite (centered around Napata and Meroe) and Egyptian kingdoms. Prior to the Kushites building these pyramids (which are located in modern day Sudan), there had been no pyramid construction in Egypt and the Nile Valley for more than 500 years. The area of the Nile valley known as Nubia, which lies within present day Sudan, was home to three Kushite kingdoms during antiquity.
Khor Shingawi
Khor Shingawi is an archaeological site in Sudan. It is situated about 12.5 kilometres from the Nile to the south of the Merowe Dam. It includes the remains of a palatial building, probably dating to 500 to 1500 AD. Its former role and exact date remains unknown. The building is largely isolated, rectangular in shape, and built of stone. It is divided into three parts, with about 20 rooms and corridors that are located on two levels.
Hamadab
Hamadab is the name for an ancient city of ruins located in Sudan. It appears to have been abandoned 4th century AD. The name is borrowed from the nearby village of al Dumat Hamadab, as the ancient name of the city is initially unknown. The ruins lie about 3 kilometres south of Meroë. They consist of two hills, 200 by 250 metres ( ft × ft) in width and length, one being 500 metres in height, and the other being half of that. The two hills are separated from each other within the Nile.
