In ancient Egypt Khartoum was not the place it is today, in earlier years it was probably an trading out-post as it was at the confluence of the White and Blue Niles. There are a number of Egyptian tombs and ruins up and down the river side (as well as inland) surrounding Khartoum.

Khartoum was founded in 1821 by Ibrahim Pasha, the ruler of Egypt in those days, and it was supposed to be an outpost for the Egyptian Army. Since 1956, when Sudan, a country situated south of Egypt, attained its independence, Khartoum became the capital of the new country.
