Port Sudan

Chief port of Sudan, located in Red Sea State, bordering the Red Sea, 65 km/40 mi north of Suakin; population (1995 est) 281,000. It is the capital of the Eastern region of Sudan and handles most of the country's trade, exporting cotton, gum arabic, oil seeds, and grain. Local salt pans supply the needs of the whole country.
