Omdurman

Omdurmán (Arabic: أم درمان, romanized: Umm Durmān) is a major city in Sudan. It is the second most populous city in the country, and thus also in the State of Khartoum. Omdurman lies on the west bank of the River Nile, opposite and northwest of the capital city of Khartoum. It is on the Nile river and acts as an important road hub, with the Nile boosting transportation even further. The name Omdurman (Umm Durmān) literally translates as "Mother of Durmān", but who she was or might have been is unknown.[1]
