Why visit Khartoum?

Khartoum is the largest city in Sudan, connected to its neighbouring cities of Khartoum North (as called Bahri) and Omdurman by bridge. Begin your journey with a stroll along the Blue Nile on Shari’a Al-Nil or Nile Street. Take in the beautiful antique colonial buildings that line the street and marvel at the Presidential Palace. Take a detour to visit the Sudan Presidential Palace Museum located in the old cathedral to learn about Sudan’s political history and rulers. Alternatively, the impressive National Museum of Sudan offers excellent Sudanese and ancient Egyptian exhibits.
Continue your walk by the river until you reach the confluence of the Blue and White Niles. Catch up with the locals and do some shopping at the Souq Arabi market in the city centre. If you’ve got the urge to escape the crowds and enjoy a bit of nature, visit the botanical gardens located in the Mogran District.

Don't Forget Before you Fly

All British nationals travelling to Khartoum will need to apply for a visa at the Sudanese Embassy in London before leaving. Once in the country, you will need to register with the Aliens Department at the Ministry of Interior within three days of arriving. Remember to bring two passport-sized photos and payment for the fee. Some hotels may do this for you so ask at check-in. You will also need an exit visa from the Aliens Department to leave the country. It is highly recommended that you bring some Sudanese pounds with you before travelling since KRT does not have ATMs.
