Guz Rajab

Guz Rajab lies in eastern Butana, near the Atbara River in Sudan. The river descends from the Ethiopian highlands and brings a strong seasonal flood across the dry plains before joining the Nile. Butana's grasslands provide pasture for herds, with the Atbara forming the eastern edge of the central grazing country. Rain and river water vary greatly with the seasons, giving the landscape a different appearance in flood and in the dry months.
