الأبيض ... حي البترول و ذكريات الطفولة والصبا (صور)

This city is occupied with more Muslims than Christian citizens and is also a market for cattle, gum Arabic, oilseed and Dura (Indian millet), a famous crop among agricultural regions in all of Sudan. Al Ubayyid lies on a sandy, scrub-covered plateau at an elevation of 570 meters. So you can only imagine the view from there. It’s encircled with a forest reserve that alleviates dust storms. Although geographically challenged, Al Ubayyid has interesting tourist attractions and grand infrastructures such as the University of Kordofan, a Logistics Base of United Missions in Sudan, and a Sudanese oil refinery. Other fine attractions include the Al-Ubayyid Cathedral and the old Al Ubayyid Cinema.
