Wilayat al Khartum Travel Forum

Hi,
I am planning to move to Khartoum for a year in October and am going to bring my dog with me. I have been to Sudan before so I know the general situation but wonder if anybody could share with me his/her recent experience -- stuff like what happens at the Khartoum airport, what they ask for, what surprises could await me?
Many thanks for help and all the best,
A

If there is anywhere to buy a dog kennel in Khartoum, or a person who has one they are willing to sell (medium medium size or larger) PLEASE let me know immediately, this is an emergency. The dog has the required shots and paperwork.

My husband is in Sudan, and has to fly back to Canada this Sunday (48 hours) He needs to bring his dog home with him.
Lufthansa told us that at time of flight booking we could request a kennel for the dog to fly in. They were not able to do it.
Is there anywhere to buy an airline approved dog kennel in Jhartoum?
PLEASE help, we are desperate and out of time!!!

Is unleaded fuel freely available in Sudan

Can anyone offer some advice on traveling and living in Khartoum with kids? ie. what to bring, what's available in the baby/child needs departments, etc. Also wondering whether mosquito nets are available to buy in Khartoum or is it best to bring them?

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!

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!

Regards,
Mya

I need some advice if i may ask of the feasibility in bringing my cat along with me when i go to Khartoum for an assignment. I currently live in New York and might leave in the next month or so. Would anyone know of the logistics? bringing to khartoum and returning back to new york? i might get assigned for a minimun of 1 year. Hoping for your kind advice.

thank you...

i'm gonna there in two days and just wandering if there are people out there who would like to hang out for a coffee or something like that.

Any of you expats who have lived in Khartoum long term have any advice (pro or con) about bringing pets? Specifically, a dog?

I am aware of the logistics in shipping a pet internationally and the health certificate/permit requirements for Sudan; however, I'd like to know if it would be unduly difficult on the dog due to the weather, or any cultural concerns.

Would love to receive any info on this topic, thanks!

Hi all!

I plan to make a 3-4 days stopover to Khartoum from Jeddah and need advice on the following:

1. Is the city safe for foreigners? Heard about the on-going civil war but do not know whether this is reflected in the day to day life in Khartoum? Anything to be careful about?

2. Hotel recommendations, preferably 3-5 stars hotels?

3. Getting around - do I hire a taxi/car for the day?

4. Any well-known industrial areas in Khartoum?

5. Visa - can a hotel arrange for a visa upo arrival or do I need a sponsor's letter?

Thanks a million for your help!
