Khartoum’s Old Downtown

Collection: issamahmedabdelhafiez.khartoumandomdurmanbuildings
Description: Khartoum’s old downtown, located immediately south of the old administrative area that runs along the bank of the Blue Nile on Nile Street, is laid out to follow a European-style grid system with regular, straight streets. Since the earlier 20th century, the old downtown has contained commercial and business offices. The area is made up mostly of the older multi-storey buildings, built in the ‘new modern style’ of the early 20th century, and more recent modern multi-storey structures. From the 1960s to early 1980s, the old downtown area was a renowned vibrant area with both a Sudanese and international community. The area included many nightclubs, shops and services. Here, one could find live music, imported goods, Sudan’s oldest bookshop and what was Khartoum’s only optician. The Greek owned Acropole Hotel is one of the few surviving businesses from this time.

Etienne Square

Collection: issamahmedabdelhafiez.khartoumandomdurmanbuildings
Description: Etienne Square, El Gamhuriya Street, Khartoum’s old downtown. The square contains a number of traditional Sudan and African craft stores, it is considered a gathering place for writers, artists, intellectuals and politicians, and is well known as the location of the monthly open-air book market called Mafroush (a Sudanese Arabic word meaning displayed), established by ‘Work Cultural Group’ in 2012 (banned by the authorities in 2015). Etienne Square is thus associated with enabling literary freedom and access, following the closure of many of Khartoum’s bookstores (Khartoum’s bookstores having numbered 400 in the 1960s) and during governmental restrictions that limited publication freedom and access.
