KHAZAN

This is the main reserve (khazan) of El-Obeid water. It is located in the south of the city, just after the Hotel Zénobia. There are many urban residents and nomads in the surrounding area who go to bowls and bidons, which they carry on the backs of donkey, bicycle or car. More generally, the place is frequented by the whole city for its beauty and freshness. Fed by a source from the Nuba Mountains, the khazan is lined with thick tall trees providing a welcome shade. This "oasis" of the savanna also attracts many birds… and probably also mosquitoes. During the rainy season, the khazan is at the highest and the whole region is green. A good time to visit El-Obeid, then more spared by relentless heat.
