Cultural Notes
Sudan has a rich history as part of ancient Nubia with more pyramids than Egypt. The Nubian kingdoms left remarkable archaeological heritage. The country bridges Arab and African cultures. When at peace, Sudanese were known for hospitality. Traditional music, poetry, and the Whirling Dervishes of Omdurman were cultural highlights.
Insider Tips
Arabic is the official language. The Sudanese Pound is the currency. Due to the ongoing conflict, normal tourism has ceased. If trapped in Sudan, contact your embassy immediately. The country has ancient archaeological sites but these are currently inaccessible.
