When the [[United Kingdom]] conquered present-day Sudan, the British commander-in-chief met Sultan Adam Suleiman in 1932, seeking his advice for his knowledge of the best places in terms of availability of water sources and land topography in order to establish the British Administration Headquarters in Darfur. Sultan Adam Suleiman had chosen Nyala for that purpose. |

The educational institutions in the country nearly doubled between the years of 2000 and 2010. In the year 2000 there were 135 primary schools and 58 secondary schools; in 2010 there were 308 primary schools and 106 secondary schools. The main concern with the educational system in the city is the quality of the education. The schools’ staff is underpaid and unqualified for adequate teaching in these institutions. The government often does not commit to their financial responsibility with the schools. This affects the schools’ operations and burdens the schools to invest from their resources. Also, many children do not attend school so they can work and add to their family’s income. |

Despite receiving almost {{convert|400|mm|in|0|disp=or}} of rainfall annually, Nyala has a marginal [[Desert climate#Hot desert climates|hot desert climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''BWh''), just below a [[semi-arid climate#Hot semi-arid climates|hot semi-desert climate]] (''BSh''), owing to the extremely high potential [[evapotranspiration]]. |
