Kassala
Kassala, in eastern Sudan, sits at the head of the Gash River delta against the slopes of the Taka Mountains, close to the Eritrean border. The city serves as the capital of Kassala State and has long drawn migrants from across Sudan and neighbouring countries, giving it a culturally layered character. The Taka Mountains rising directly above the city make it a practical base for anyone heading into that highland terrain.
