Getting around

People who have backpacked Sudan shared that bus travel between all major towns is fairly easy and comfortable for those who want to travel to Sudan independently. In general, large coaches can transport you from one city to another. Bus travel is inexpensive (around 10 SDP for a four-hour ride) and available seven days a week, though if you have a long journey ahead of you, you are recommended to leave early in the morning. Prepare to spend some time navigating the streets of Khartoum due to the heavy traffic.

By hailing a taxi or using the Tirhal app, you can get a taxi for a reasonable price. It is similar to Uber, but it only accepts cash. If you do not speak Arabic, it will come in handy. This is one of the things to know before traveling to Sudan that you need to remember if you are planning on this country.
