evidence: Wadi Halfa is a town on the shores of Lake Nasser in the north of Sudan. It marks the point of entry into Sudan for those coming in from Egypt. It is surrounded by the dunes of the Nubian Desert, the eastern edge of the Sahara, and has a population of around 15,000. Understand [edit]Historically, Wadi Halfa was Nubia's most important trading point, being the gateway between Egypt and Sudan. Today the city's buildings are immaculate, surrounded by the golden dunes of the Nubian Desert. It is the stereotypical border town, small and full of paperwork, hassle, and dirt. [...] Wadi Halfa is likely the safest city you will find in Sudan in terms of safety, violence, disease and crime, but beware of the extreme heat, which can be extremely dangerous and seeing 50°C on the thermometer is a normal thing, where temperatures can go up to 54°C, making one of the hottest cities in the world, avoid travelling to Wadi Halfa at all costs during the Summer or even outside of the 'Winter' and closer periods, and even in those periods, use protective clothing and sunscreen.
