Located in west-central Sudan, Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan State, is situated on the edge of the desert and serves as an important transportation hub connecting the north and south of Sudan with neighboring countries, with a population of one million. The city's core economic pillar is agriculture, and the surrounding area is rich in cotton, peanuts and grains, with a vibrant local marketplace that is one of Sudan's key commodity hubs. A blend of Arab and African cultural traditions, Obeid has a long Islamic history, with ancient mosques and traditional handicraft markets showcasing its unique cultural attractions. Due to the tropical desert climate, there is a large temperature difference between day and night, and the city's buildings are mostly designed in a style adapted to the high temperatures, combining practicality and local characteristics.
