Travelling to Sudan?

Everything you need for Sudan, sorted before you land: data, visa, insurance and lounges.

TRIP FILE DATA

Sudan has been in civil war since April 2023: millions displaced and a food crisis that keeps growing. The pyramids of Meroë are here: there are more of them than in Egypt and almost nobody ever saw them. Today they are not a reason to come, and there is no other one.

Travel notes for Sudan

SD / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

Sudan touches 7 countries by land, and that changes the planning: flying in and out of the same airport is a choice here, not an obligation.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

Skip roaming charges and airport-SIM queues: an Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and switches on the second you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 5 GB, valid up to 21 days. It runs on local networks, so there’s no bill shock when you get home.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Sudan sits in the northern hemisphere, so the warmest, longest days fall roughly between June and August, while winters run colder. Spring and autumn usually trade the crowds for milder weather and better prices.

MONEY

Paying your way

Keep the trip money in a separate account from your everyday one, with only what you plan to spend in it. If a card gets cloned, you lose a week’s budget and a phone call, not everything you have.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Check whether your destination wants an electronic authorisation before boarding: these are done online and can take days to come back. And always confirm with the country’s own official source, because these rules change without notice and guides go stale.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

English isn’t a given everywhere you’ll go. Download an offline map and keep a translation app on your connected phone: directions, menus, taxis and check-ins all get a lot smoother when you can point, read and translate on the spot.
