Tourists take pictures of the Royal Cemeteries of Meroe Pyramids in Begrawiya at River Nile State, Sudan on November 10, 2019. Sudan has more – though smaller – pyramids than Egypt, but attracted only about 700,000 tourists in 2018 compared to some 10 million in its northern neighbor. Like the Egyptians, the Nubian Kush dynasty that ruled in the area some 2,500 years ago buried members of the royal family in pyramid tombs. Near Meroe's pyramids lie an array of temples with ancient drawings of animals and the ancient city of Naga, and there are more pyramids further north at Jebel Barka.
