Meroë is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Sudan, ancient city along the eastern bank of the Nile River in Northern Sudan. Pyramason catalogues it as PYR-177823 at 16.93514, 33.75075 (16°56'06.5"N 33°45'02.7"E).

Wikidata records a construction date of about 2500 BCE.

There are 3 other catalogued sites within 5 km of it, 7 within 25 km and 9 within 50 km. A sparse neighbourhood in the catalogue is not evidence of an empty landscape. Coverage varies by country, and a low count here may mean the record is thin rather than the ground is.
