Ahmed Mousa Homestay

Sudan


Ahmed has a couple of spartan but clean rooms with fans set around a sandy courtyard, not far from the museum and the temple. The communal bathrooms are spotless. You can normally find Ahmed at the ticket office for the museum, where he works, otherwise call ahead for directions.
