Islam and Arab culture came to Sudan through trading centers like the ruined Red Sea and ancient port of Suakin. Sudan has long been ruled by a small circle of wealthy northerners, who, because of their Muslim faith and Arabized culture, consider themselves Arab instead of African. Islam and Arab culture came to Sudan through trading centers like the port of Suakin. Suakin was ottoman built but was possibly chipped into this perfectly round circle by the Romans. Suakin was the main port from the 14th century until World War I and has never been excavated.
