Sudan - Undurman & El Amingia - The public expression of Sufism

Overview

The tomb of the 19th century Sufi sheikh Hamed el-Nil in Omdurman, in Sudan, becomes a meeting point for the members of the Qadiriya order. Each Friday afternoon, before sunset, adherents to the brotherhood perform their ritual and with dancing and chanting attract crowds of observers who participate in the festivity.
