The map
About this Rufā‘a map poster
Rufā‘a lies in Al Jazirah State in Sudan, on the east bank of the Blue Nile, across the river from Hasaheisa. On a map, the river forms the western edge of the town. The streets extend inland from the bank in a loose grid, and then give way to flat land toward the east.
The town has an important place in Sudan's history of education. In the early twentieth century Babiker Badri opened a school for girls in Rufā‘a, widely regarded as the first in the country. It laid the groundwork for what later became Ahfad University for Women in Omdurman. The town's name is closely tied to that story.
A Rufā‘a map poster brings together two strong elements. The broad curve of the Blue Nile runs along one side, and the town's blocks spread across the plain on the other. The river's wide channel and its sandbanks give the image weight, and the streets fill in the rest in fine detail.

The town's streets run back from the bank in a loosely regular pattern. The result is an orderly settlement along the water.
Gezira plain
Flat land stretches east of the town. This is part of the wider Gezira region between the Blue and White Niles.
