  This holy mountain and complex of pyramids and tombs is just spiritual and special. It takes about 20-25 minutes to hike to the top around some rock on the side, and then there is a sand trail down. At the top, you get great panoramic views of the pyramids, Karima, the river, the tombs, and the beautiful Sudanese landscape. I went for sunrise and sunset, and both experiences were just so spiritual. The tombs and pyramids are quite well intact, and you see a lot walking around the outer edge of the mountain. The whole area is just magnificent (especially if you have the whole site to yourself).
