This holy mountain and complex of pyramids and tombs is just spiritual and special. It takes about 20-25 minutes to hike to the top around some rock on the side, and then there is a sand trail down. At the top, you get great panoramic views of the pyramids, Karima, the river, the tombs, and the beautiful Sudanese landscape. I went for sunrise and sunset, and both experiences were just so spiritual. The tombs and pyramids are quite well intact, and you see a lot walking around the outer edge of the mountain. The whole area is just magnificent (especially if you have the whole site to yourself).

Spectacular Sandstone mountain. View from the top quite amazing. Remnants of ancient temples including pyramids surround the mountain. Only 75 metres high. Very easy to climb. Pallid Swift's and Rock Buntings nest here. There are cheap guesthouses in the nearby village town of Carima. Best time to visit is at dusk and Dawn.

An excellent set of archaeological sites around the holy mountain - which is called Jebel Barkal - recognized as the World Heritage. There are: numerous archaeological remains, a museum, a cave temple with painting. An one complex with other sites nearby - pyramids of El Kurru and pyramides of Nuri. Nearby also exists a good European style hotel - Nubian House.

Under the shadow of Jebel Barkal are the archaeological reminds of temples. Very impressive to visit.

Beautiful views from the top. We went for both sunset and sunrise the next day, it was magical!

Go if you're in the area. Good views from the top. Very easy to climb.

Awesome view from there. We enjoyed sunset and the view of the pyramids on one side, the Nile river and its vegetation on the other side.

Amazing views definitely recommend visiting if you are planning to travel to Sudan
