A new era is dawning….

Khartoum, Sudan: the gateway to a world of opportunity.

The city of Khartoum is undergoing rapid developments triggered by the discovery of oil in Sudan.  This wealth creation is serving as a catalyst for modernisation, driving demand for business and enhanced life styles.

Sudan is the largest, and one of the most diverse countries in Africa, home to deserts, mountain ranges and rain forests. The economic dividends of peace will be great. Sudan has large areas of cultivatable land, as well as gold and cotton. Its oil reserves are ripe for further exploration.
