The survey aimed to understand the demography of non-Sudanese visitors to the site, modes and styles of travel, their interest and knowledge about the site and archaeology, their sources of information, and their experience of Old Dongola.
The 26 single or multiple-choice questions were divided into three themes; 1) Communication (Transportation), 2) Archaeology, and 3) demographic questions.
A random sampling method was applied to collect the data in Old Dongola. The collection of the data was carried out by Tomomi Fushiya, Katarzyna Radziwiłko, and Mohamed Hassan Siedahmed in February 2019.
