Crime in Sudan

Sudan is a country with a high crime rate, particularly in urban areas such as Khartoum, where incidents of theft, robbery, and assault are common. The ongoing political instability and economic crisis in the country have exacerbated the crime situation in recent years.

There are also safety concerns related to terrorism and civil unrest in some parts of the country. Terrorist groups such as ISIS have been known to operate in Sudan, and there have been several attacks targeting foreign nationals and international organizations in the past.

In addition, Sudan has been affected by armed conflict in several regions, particularly in the Darfur and Blue Nile regions. The conflict has resulted in displacement, human rights violations, and a high level of insecurity in affected areas.

Travelers to Sudan are advised to exercise extreme caution and avoid all non-essential travel to the country. Those who do travel to Sudan should be aware of the risks and take appropriate security measures, including avoiding public gatherings and areas known to be at high risk of criminal activity or terrorist attacks.

It is also important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, as penalties for some offenses can be severe. Travelers should take particular care when traveling in remote or rural areas, where the security situation may be less stable.

Overall, Sudan is considered to be a high-risk destination for travelers, and visitors are advised to take all necessary precautions to ensure their safety and security.

• The most common religion in Sudan is Islam.
• Don't forget greetings and leave-takings are interactions with religious overtones - the common expressions all have references to Allah.”Insha Allah” (if Allah wills) is often heard, as is “alhamdu lillah” (may Allah be praised).
• Don't show off with expensive clothes or jewellery in public - keep a low profile to avoid unwanted attention.
• Don't photograph military installations, public utilities, slum areas, or beggars without official permission.
• Don't wear tight and revealing clothes, especially if you're a woman - non-muslim women are expected to wear a veil or cover their heads. Dress modestly.
• Don't forget food is an essential part of many social interactions. When invited to someone’s home, check with the host, before accepting the invitation, whether the wife is also invited.

Do I need travel insurance to travel to Sudan?

Travel insurance is very important when traveling overseas. We strongly recommend that you take out cover to travel to Sudan. You can usually take out single trip or annual multi-trip cover to give you peace of mind should anything happen.

It can be a better and cheaper option to take annual multi-trip cover as it usually covers any number of trips taken in one year with a maximum of up to around 60 days away per trip.

We work with the top names in the industry and have already pre-selected the easiest, cheapest and best quality travel insurance on the market to save you time and money trying to find the best cover.

Travel insurance typically covers the following; however, you can tailor a policy to suit your needs depending on where you are traveling to, your activities and how long you are away.

• Medical Expenses
  Medical treatment can be extremely costly and add up very quickly, and include Overnight stays in hospital, minor or major surgery, accident and emergency treatment, drugs, COVID-19 treatment, journey home if you cannot use the original ticket, dental treatment, and many more unexpected expenses.
• Baggage and personal belongings
  If your baggage is lost, stolen, damaged or delayed it is extremely frustrating. If you must buy new clothes, toiletry products or personal belongings it can be very expensive and time consuming.
• Cancellation
  Sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances you may need to cancel your trip. This could be due to several reasons such as illness, injury, a bereavement or many other scenarios. Usually airlines, tour operators and hotels have large cancellation fees, so buying travel insurance that covers this is recommended.
