Northern Sudan has two distinct parts: the desert, the Nile Valley, and to the east of the Nile lies the Nubian Desert.
The Western Sudan Front includes the areas known as Darfur and Kordofan.
West Darfur is a undulating plain dominated by the volcanic rocky mass of the towering Jebel Al-Marah, 900 meters above the Sudanese plain.
West Darfur stands in contrast to North and East Darfur, which is almost submerged by little water either from intermittent flows known as wadis or from wells that usually dry during the winter months.
The southern region of western Sudan is known as “Al Quoz”. It is a land of sand dunes characterized by the availability of grass in the rainy season
One of the unique features of western Sudan is the Nuba Mountain Range in southeast Kordofan in the center of the country, which is a cluster of isolated dome-shaped hills, and sugar pistols that rise steeply and immediately from the large Sudanese plain.
As for the third region in Sudan, it is the central clay plains that extend east from the Nuba Mountains to the Ethiopian border, and it is only broken by the hills of Ingisana.
Between the Dender and the Rahad rivers, a series of low hills descends from the Ethiopian highlands to break the endless plains horizon
