Planning your Sudan trip
- Pyramids of MeroeThese pyramids are about two and a half hours north of Khartoum. Permits are required before visiting.
- Naqa and MusawwaratThese ancient sites lie along the route towards Meroe, and Musawwarat is an important archaeological site. Permits are required, and the approach includes sandy tracks.
- Sufi rituals in OmdurmanThe source describes welcoming gatherings with drumming and trance dancing on Fridays, about an hour before sunset. They take place northwest of the Nile in Omdurman.
- Nile dam south of KhartoumThe dam is about one and a half hours south of Khartoum. The wide stretch of Nile downstream is popular with day visitors on Fridays and Saturdays.
Scams to watch for in Sudan
- Police demands for bribesPolice sometimes target travellers for bribes. A payment demand may follow an alleged rule breach, such as taking photographs in a prohibited area.
- Confusing old and new currency quotesPeople may quote prices in old pounds or dinars instead of current Sudanese pounds. They may also leave out the thousands when speaking. This is not necessarily deliberate fraud, but it can cause a mistaken payment or a dispute.
- Extra departure-tax demandDeparture tax is described as included in the ticket price, so a separate demand should be questioned. This is a possible overcharging issue, not an established frequent scam. Khartoum Airport is described as closed because of fighting.
