  abstract = {The distinguished medieval port of Suakin (Sudan) is frequently referred to in formal reports and literature as the  abandoned port of Suakin . It is cited and commended for its tangible heritage. Suakin has been on Sudan s World Heritage Tentative List since September 1994. Its proposed nomination to the UNESCO World Heritage List was based on its archaeological, historical and architectural values, whereas the rich intangible heritage, the uses of heritage and its significance to the contemporary community, and their strong attachment was not taken into account in the nomination for world heritage status. Using ethnographic research, this article explores the heritage which has been overlooked and omitted from official archaeology, history and heritage. The research illustrates how Suakin continues to form a central part of the Suakinese culture and remains a place of history, pride, ancestors, memory, myth, traditions, home, belonging and identity. Heritage management in Sudan needs to consider the inter-connected nature of the tangible and intangible values of Suakin s cultural landscape.},
