Dongola (also spelled Dunqulah or Dunqula and formerly sometimes known as El Ordeh) is the capital of the state of Northern in Sudan, on the banks of the Nile. It should not be confused with Old Dongola, an ancient city located 50 miles upstream on the opposite bank. It was also the name of a province of Upper Nubia on both sides of the Nile. This province was part of the Makurian kingdom, then later belonged to Egypt which made it the seat of a pasha.
