Located in the center of the Republic of Sudan, on the west bank of the White Nile River, Kusti is the capital of the White Nile State. Located about 320 kilometers from the capital Khartoum, the city is situated in an important transportation hub connecting Northern and Southern Sudan.
Kosti is famous for the Kosti Bridge across the White Nile, which is a key point of land transportation between North and South Sudan. The city's economy is predominantly agricultural, with the surrounding area producing cotton, peanuts, and sesame, and is active as a regional trade center.
The city has a savannah climate with distinct dry and rainy seasons. The population is predominantly Sudanese Arab and multicultural. As an important port on the White Nile, Kosti plays an important role in Sudan's inland transportation system.
Kosti's infrastructure has improved in recent years, but its overall development is still limited by Sudan's economic conditions. Its strategic location makes it an important window on Sudan's regional economic development, and its future potential is noteworthy.
