Do Canadians need a visa for Khartoum?

Do we need to get any sort of medications before heading to Khartoum?

Is it possible to get into Southern Sudan without a visa? As of now, I don't have one and I am going in December. Why is it that a passport not be enough? I'll only be there for two weeks. Are there people who do it, legally or no, without visas?

I lived there a long time ago. Is the school still there?

Does anyone know about accomodation in Malakal, which is further north along the White Nile?

Hello Everyone,

I am planning a trip to the south of Sudan over the Christmas Vacations. I will be flying into Entebbe then flying on to Moyo.

I have been slightly concerned by the UK Foreign Office and US State Department warnings that certain parts of Sudan are still unsafe for travel. Does anyone know what the situation really is in this area of Sudan? It would be really helpful if anyone has any information to share.

Many thanks

Chris

Hi there, I am considering a Sudan trip next year (the northern part). I guess I will have roughly a week to ten days time, and my interest is mainly to get an impression of Khartoum, Omdurman, and the ruins of Meroe. I have been checking other VT pages on Sudan but an itinerary recommendation would be very appreciated !

Hi All,
My husband and I are moving to Khartoum in a few months. We are both fairly active and are looking for ways to get exercise while we are living in Khartoum. Are there any gyms with modern equipment and if so what are the prices like? Are they open to men and women at the same time? What about sports teams or running locations?
Thanks!

We want to cycle from Aegypt to Port Sudan this winter. Does anybody know, if there is a ferry or any other connection from Port Sudan across to Yemen?
Thanks

I wonder if there are few activities in Juba for what-so-called expatriate or international community gathering such as yoga or sport club.

Any information will be great ..

I'm having a heck of a time finding out cost of basics in Khartoum. Can anyone advise the price of a litre of diesel and petrol? Thanks

hi! i'm a myanmar passport holder, teaching in Karachi and im planing on comming to Sudan for a visit. Thing is, the Sudan consulate here in Islamabad is quite unhelpful, the man says they do not issue tourist visas, i need a reference from sudan to go to the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs or something to give my name and passport number, then i can get my visa through the consulate here. what a tedious process! i dont really understand it either, can anyone elaborate? thank you!

Are there any embassies or consulate of schengen states in Juba?

Hello,

January next year (2008) we will be driving a Mercedes 508 bus to and through Sudan. Does anybody have any tips? More specific:

- will the ferry (ponton) to Wadi Halfa take us, and more important can we exit the ferry in a normal way there?
- is the Hala'ib Triangle open for tourists? This is driving along the coast...
- any information about ferries going from Saudi Arabia to Port Sudan?

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

I'd like to travel to Kajo-Keje in February next year but I saw that the US and UK embassies suggest it is too dangerous. I'm meeting a Southern Sudanese friend there -- how was Juba when you were there in September?


Also do you think it would be best to travel via Kampala (and by road or air?) or from Khartoum or Nairobi?

thanks!

Any suggestions on how many Dinars I should show up with prior to arrival. I've perused the other replies and it seems wise to bring US dollars and convert after arrival. I would just think that some Dinars are necessary immediately.

Hi,

We are on two motorcycles and wish to travel from Northern Kenya to Egypt via Sudan. Has anybody made this journey recently ? and how complicated / dangerous was it ? How long also did it take to ride across Sudan please ?

Any other related advice for this trip would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards.

Mike
