在蘇丹首都喀土穆，清真寺隨處可見，各具特色，每逢周五，不管富人窮人都要去清真寺做禱告。那尖塔形的高聳建筑是喀土穆的一大特色，讓人明白無誤地知道這是一個穆斯林的國度。漫步在人流擁擠的阿拉伯市場里，舉目眺望那高聳入云的清真寺尖塔，頓時會切身感到喀土穆是一座典型阿拉伯風(fēng)情的城市。喀土穆的清真寺一般不太大，但數(shù)量多，大大小小的清真寺遍布城中。星期五是蘇丹傳統(tǒng)的休息日和禮拜日，所有穆斯林男士都要到指定的清真寺去做周拜，也就是最正式的禮拜。聽著清真寺里的朝拜聲，一周又過去了。

　　與喀土穆隔河相望的恩圖曼有著名的馬赫迪陵墓。1885年蘇丹民族英雄馬赫迪病逝后，他的繼承人哈里發(fā)·阿卜杜拉在喀土穆對岸興建新城，即恩圖曼。1885－1898年曾為馬赫迪國都城，1898年毀于英國侵略戰(zhàn)爭，后重建。市內(nèi)多清真寺、宗教學(xué)校和名勝古跡。城東有著名的馬赫迪陵墓，為伊斯蘭風(fēng)格的淡黃色建筑，室內(nèi)陳列有馬赫迪的墓槨、畫像以及他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)蘇丹人民反殖民侵略斗爭的實物、圖片、資料等。市中心有著名的哈里發(fā)·阿卜杜拉清真寺及哈里發(fā)博物館。博物館原為阿卜杜拉故居，后來成為他指揮蘇丹民族抵抗英軍的司令部。

Some of the big and well-known mosques are located in Khartoum and Omdurman, including ElImam Al Rahman Mosque, Omdurman- Wad Nubawui, El Imam El Mahdi, Omdurman- El Mulazmeen. Tombof the Mahdi was first built on the death of the Mahdi in 1885, when his body was entombed in a silverdomedmosque in Omdurman and destroyed in 1898. The Mahdi's son had the mosque and tomb rebuilt.Beit al-Khalifa is situated opposite the Mahdi's tomb.
