Tourist attraction of The Al-Nilin Mosque in Omdurman in Sudan

The Al-Nilin Mosque, also known as the Omdurman Mosque, is a historic mosque in Omdurman, Sudan. It is one of the largest and most important mosques in Sudan and is considered a major cultural and architectural landmark in the country.
The mosque was built in the late 19th century by the Mahdist state, which controlled Sudan at the time. The Mahdist state was a religious and political movement that sought to establish an Islamic state in Sudan and Egypt.
The mosque is named after the Nile River, which flows through Sudan and is considered a sacred river in the country. The mosque's architecture is a mix of traditional Sudanese and Ottoman styles, and it is known for its large minaret and dome.
The mosque was the site of several important events in Sudanese history, including the Battle of Omdurman in 1898, which was fought between the British and the Mahdist state. The British were victorious in the battle, which effectively ended the Mahdist state and established British control over Sudan.
The mosque also played a significant role in the country's post-colonial history, especially during the October 1964 Revolution. Also during the civil war from 1983-2005 it was one of the places used as a base for the SPLA (Sudan People's Liberation Army) during the war, and as a result it was heavily damaged.
Today, it is still a working mosque and a popular tourist attraction in Omdurman, where visitors can see its historic architecture and learn about its significance in Sudanese history.
