Overview

Sudan

Sudan, in the northeast of Africa, is the largest country on the continent. Its political situation and weather have brought about a lot of famine, especially in Darfur. Economic crisis is rife even today, which makes it almost inappropriate to describe its stunning coast by the Red Sea and its beautiful panoramas and varied landscapes. To be honest, the only reason to travel to Sudan is for humanitarian action and that is why so many humanitarian trips are organised. Despite the efforts though, means are limited. Be aware that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly advises against travelling to the three states of Darfur and to the South off the country.

pros

  •  The hospitality of the Sudanese people.
  •  The country's legendary historical sites (Meroe) and the beautiful untouched landscapes.

cons

  •  Sudan is facing a difficult political situation (conflicts between northern Muslims and southern Christians, as well as slavery).
  •  At the moment, it is not advisable to travel to Sudan for sightseeing.
  •  You won't have access to all the sites.

Country Guide

Our Editorial team's advice

Register at the police station upon arrival in any of the cities in Sudan! The country's southern provinces are living through a violent Christian/Muslim civil war, (a religious clash often transformed into an ethnic war as Christian rebel troops claim their independence ), and it has been reigning for the last twenty years! The conflict in this region is often very violent and travelling to the area is strictly forbidden: on no account should you defy the ban! This is a country of war, curfew and cease-fire; there are attempts at negotiation with rebel groups, and Non-Governmental Organisations' do try to penetrate the territory to supply humanitarian aid to the population, but it is a very unstable situation! Therefore, respect every safety instruction and curfew (which is currently between midnight and 4:00am).
