hey around this time my wife and I (with the IOM / UN) were stationed in Sudan for about a month.
It’s really not that bad once acquainted 🙂
"At the same time, though, I’m obviously wary of safety along my travels, so I’m not going to waltz into Sudan or the DR Congo with my DSLR camera around my neck"
At that time Sudan was an embargoed country with U.S. and U.K. sanctions so being there had it’s restrictions including the fact that you couldn’t use credit cards or ATM’s although as of 2017 the sanctions were lifted and now I see that there is more options.
It was my first time to see the infamous Nile River (Two of them actually ..since the ancient city of Khartoum is where the blue and white nile meet! Also enjoyed the national museum.
Did you know that Sudan has the most pyramids; way more than Egypt but due to the lack of tourism and investment most people don’t know that.
Being there was interesting and so close to the Sahara desert we witnessed sand spilling into the city regularly and covering up the streets. Actually due to the lack of technology and the sand; I got a ‘Indiana Jones 1930’s ‘ feel to things. The City itself is an ancient one with continuous habitation for Thousands of years.
There is some pretty cool buildings there and we enjoyed a buffet lunch a couple times at the Corinthian hotel overlooking the Nile.
