In addition to the scientific activities, we are launching a striking, exciting, and hopefully enjoyable social programme to the delegates and their guests and that includes visits to museums and famous areas, to see fascinating Sudanese folklore and dance, Nile cruises and trips to Safari parks, Rea sea coastline and Bajrawyia Pyramids of the ancient Kingdom of Meroe.

Khartoum is a cosmopolitan town, bridging the gap between North and South of Africa, it is a safe city, situated at the beautiful confluence of the White Nile and the Blue Nile forming the River Nile. February in Khartoum offers visitors the chance to experience nice and dry weather with plenty of sunshine and fascinating blue sky.

We are expecting massive contributions from the mycetoma endemic areas, Americas, Europe, Asia as well as from the region. Your contribution to this important meeting is highly appreciated.
