The Sudan Camp was a German Camp set up outside the Sudan Temple by the German Desert Commandos. It was made up by a lot tents, scaffolding and trucks parked around the area. Some tanks were set around it to guard it. The land around the camp was flat enough to allow planes to land nearby.
Adventures at the Sudan Camp[]
In 1939, Magnus Völler arrived at the site, along with a group of German desert commandos, despite being in British-run territory. They set up a base camp next to the temple and began excavation, and set up an airstrip for bringing in supplies.
Indiana Jones arrived at the site, hoping to retrieve ancient artifacts from Nubian ruins before looters and graverobbers could find them. He was surprised to see Nazi activity and stayed out of sight in the mountains. Jones discovered the back entrance to the temple.
After a stand-off in the Temple, Indy escaped and made sure that Magnus and the commandos couldn't follow him by destroying the scaffolding at the entrance to the Temple. Rushing into the Nazi camp, Jones fought his way through several of the commandos, using his fists and his whip. He retrieved a Gold Ram's Head from an open tent. Passing through an ancient side room, Jones emerged in the camp's supply area.
A Nazi guard in an outpost tower opened fire, causing Jones to temporarily take cover while his escape route was blocked. Fighting his way through several soldiers, Jones hopped into a truck and rammed the guard tower, toppling it. Driving onto the airstrip, Jones pulled alongside a biplane taking off and jumped aboard. Jones punched out the pilot and flew the plane through a series of winding canyons while being shot at by other German planes. Reaching the end of the canyons, Jones managed to escape from his pursuers, and headed out of Sudan.

One of the mountains that separated the valley from the main desert matches the outline of the Paramount Pictures logo, and serves as the opening shot in the story for the Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings video game.
The location serves as a battle arena in the Wii version in the game.
