Khartoum, capital of the Republic of Sudan


Corinthia Hotel Khartoum Sudan
Postcard
Khartoum is the capital and second largest city of the Republic of Sudan. This card pictures the five star luxury Corinthia Hotel Khartoum, situated at the meeting point of the Blue and White Nile rivers and in the centre of the city's commercial district.
 
The building has an oval curved facade; like the Burj Al Arab, it was designed to resemble a ship's sail. It is known as "Gaddafi's Egg" because it is funded by Libya.

Stamp
A Sudan 2003 definitive.
