Jebel Marra, Sudan

Displayed:   times.

Jebel Marra lies in western Sudan, one of the most distinct places in Darfur region. It stretches for several hundred miles from the small town of Kas in the South up to the outskirts of AI Fasher in the North, covering an area of almost 12800 square kilometres.

Mt. Marra is 10,000 ft above sea level, the second highest in the country. It consists of a range of mountains 240- km long and 80 km. wide, with waterfalls, volcanic lakes in an outstanding scenic beauty.

The climate of the mountain is mild and of Mediterranean nature, where it rains almost the whole year round and that allows for the growth of abundant vegetation of citrus, apples and clusters of dense forest trees.

Jebel Marra's heavy rainfall and numerous gorges supply vast arable lands with a continuous flow of water turning it into ideal soil for the cultivation of sorghum, millet, vegetables and a wide variety of orchard trees. More info on: www.sudan-embassy.co.uk
