Destination overview

FCO travel update: the FCO advises against all travel to Southern Kordofan, Blue Nile States, all parts of Darfur, the Red Sea State border with Eritrea and the Abyei region. It also advises against all but essential travel to other specific parts of Sudan - see more details here: FCO Sudan Travel Advice.

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.

Sudan Travel guide

Our Editorial team's advice

Register with the authorities as soon as you arrive in a
town or city! The country's southern provinces are in the grips of a violent Christian/Muslim civil war, a religious conflict merged with an ethnic war that has been going on for twenty years. Christian rebel troops are demanding their independence. The conflict in this region is often very violent and travelling to the area is strongly forbidden. On no account should you defy any ban! This is a country of war, curfew, cease-fire, negotiations with rebel groups, and attempts by NGOs to penetrate the territory to provide humanitarian aid. Respect all safety precautions and the ceasefire period (currently in effect from midnight to 4:00am).
