Sudan is the biggest country in Africa, and within its generous proportions you'll find rolling desert, hidden pyramids, multicoloured fish and fascinating peoples
Sprawling Sudan makes up a whopping 8% of Africa yet it only attracts a teeny number of visitors. Sudan comprises vast, lonely deserts and pastureland littered with tribal communities and archeological relics.
The ethnic, linguistic and religious pluralism is staggering. Over 100 languages are spoken and, with such a compelling cultural hodge-podge, it’s possible to take in everything from tribal wrestling to spiritual exorcisms and whirling dervishes. The friendly, relaxed people are a real boon (just don’t expect anything in a hurry) and the only place you’ll feel crowded is when you’re being followed by schools of barracuda in the Red Sea.
Although the recent troubles mean that some areas are no go zones, there are still regions you can visit – just make sure you check the latest travel advice before venturing out.
Check safety guidelines regularly. Bring a sheet as bedding is rarely provided in any abode, regardless of the price tag. Wear flip flops when showering as athlete’s foot is commonplace. Stay cool by donning white clothes. Take sand mats for desert driving.
