Etiquette

The typical terms used in greetings and farewells all make references to Allah, which are meant both metaphorically and literally. These exchanges have religious connotations. "Insha Allah" (if Allah wills) and "alhamdu lillah" are frequently used ("may Allah be praised").

In many social relationships, food plays a significant role. If not a complete dinner, visits often include tea, coffee, or soda. Instead of using utensils, it is normal to eat from a common serving bowl using the right hand. Around a small table, individuals in Muslim homes sit on pillows. Towels and a pitcher of water are distributed around for hand washing before the meal.

If you want to gesture or make an offer, use your right hand or both hands. It is forbidden to gesture or touch anything here with the left hand, which is utilized for cleaning and hygienic purposes (e.g., food, people,...).

To respect your Sudanese counterparts' modesty, dress in clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. When in public, women in particular are required to act and dress modestly.
If you are a man, publicly flirting with a Sudanese girl or lady is very unacceptable.

Being late is usual among friends and does not signify rudeness or disgrace. Sudanese people are renowned for their tremendous patience and casual attitude toward keeping time. Saying "Malesh," which means "Sorry," when anything goes wrong because of one's error is a common response. This expresses contrition while while preserving one's reputation.
Always be mindful not to cross in front of or speak to someone who is praying.
