Khartoum is becoming a huge construction site
High-rise buildings are under construction in Khartoum, Khartoum North and Omdurman, the three districts that make up the capital.
While not skyscrapers in the New York mould, the buildings, which reach 15 stories high, are being built in areas of the city that are close to the main business districts and where local services are good.
And the designs can be dramatic. The al-Fateh Tower is one such building which would not look out of place in Dubai.
But the trend is spreading to other parts of Khartoum.
