Budget
Accommodation prices tend to be affordable, even though they vary a lot, local transportation costs are usually very low and food prices vary from very cheap in roadside stands to considerably expensive in upscale restaurants. Inexpensive tourist agencies offer affordable tours to some of the country’s most notable archaeological sites. Some of these sites are also accessible by local transportation.
Best time to visit
The best time to visit Sudan is from December to February when the temperatures are a bit cooler. The weather tends to be extremely dry this time of year. Even though the pyramids in Sudan are almost as spectacular as the ones in Egypt, there are much fewer tourists in Sudan, no matter when you decide to visit.
Environmental issues
Romance and adventure
Sudan is a mysterious country full of ancient wonders. Visiting any of the pyramids listed above should be adventurous, romantic, and truly unforgettable.
