EXPLORING PORT SUDAN ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES

After 5 pm yesterday evening, we went to explore the prawn and salt industries immediately South of Bashayer 2 Marine Resort as part of our last expedition of year 2007. Unfortunately, the prawn farm was closed for visitor after 3 pm and therefore we were unable to get into the farm. We went to the salt farm next to the prawn farm and looked at the salt production. To our amazement, the type of salt produced at the location very much different from the cooking salt. We observed the color was slightly pink and the size of the texture was extraordinaryly large. We will further study the salt, the production and purpose. For the time being, we let you enjoy viewing the photos taken at the site.
