Koka (Nobiin: Ⲕⲟ̅ⲩ̅ⲕⲁ; Arabic: كوكا) is a village in Northern State, Sudan, located on the western bank of the Nile River.
Etymology
The name Koka (Nobiin pronunciation: [[kuːka]]) is derived from a Nobiin word meaning "retreated" or "secluded," referring to the village's topography of low-lying land surrounded by relatively higher ground[1]
Geography
Koka is situated in the Mahas region[2], southwest of Delgo. It is bordered to the south by Kajbar, to the north by Al-Tur‘a, to the east by the Nile River, and to the west by agricultural lands. The area extends along both banks of the Nile and is lined with palm trees that separate the river from the residential settlements.
