The city could go back to the postméroïtique era, although it was difficult to define. In any case, it was a prosperous city, thanks to its slave market under the Sultanate of Founj, before the creation of Khartoum. A Coptic community settled there at the time of Turkiyah to enjoy trade. However, since the establishment of the capital, 150 km south, Hostels's activity has continued to stagnate. The city always sees trains that do not stop much in its station. However, the main object of pride for the inhabitants is that Hostels is the birthplace of President Omar al-Bashir.As far as you are concerned, the city can possibly be a base for visiting the surrounding archaeological sites.
