Travel to Africa's third largest country (the size of Alaska plus West Virginia and Maryland, and more than seven times the size of the United Kingdom) is currently impossible for ordinary visitors. Since April 2023 this country of nearly 52 million has been engulfed in a brutal civil war that has created what many humanitarian agencies call the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, displacing millions and collapsing much of the country’s infrastructure. Yet Sudan remains one of the most historically and culturally extraordinary countries in Africa—home to ancient pyramids, lost kingdoms, and vast desert landscapes that, if peace returns, could make it one of the continent’s most compelling travel destinations.
