Doukki Gel, or Dukki Gel, was an ancient Nubian settlement. Dukki Gel was inhabited between 1800 BC to 400 AD and was occupied by Kerma rulers around 1700 BC during the Classical Kerma period, and later by Ancient Egyptian and Nubian officials during the new kingdom period. The settlement is located less than 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of the city of Kerma, and shows distinctive Sub Saharan influences architecturally distinct from the architecturally kushite Kerma with more rounded structures.
