About Jebel Barkal
Jebel Barkal or Gebel Barkal is a mesa located 400 km north of Khartoum, next to Karima in Northern State in Sudan, and near the Nile River in Nubia. The Jebel is 104 meters tall, has a flat top, and came to have religious significance for both ancient Kush and ancient Egyptian occupiers. In 2003, the mountain, together with the extensive archaeological site at its base, were named as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The area houses the Jebel Barkal Museum.
