About Port SudanImage: Bertramz Port Sudan has a population of estimated half a million people. Spoken languages are predominantly Arabic and English. The city was founded by the British in 1909 as the terminus of a rail linking the Red Sea to the River Nile. The new port replaced Suakin as Sudan's chief port. The railroad was used to transport cotton, sesame seed, and sorghum, from the agriculturally rich areas of the Nile valley to markets.
