How locals move
Getting around Khartoum 3 the local way
- Get inYou can also walk out to the main road about 200 m from the airport terminal and catch minibuses that cruise along the road.
- Get inOlder, more infrequent trains run from Port Sudan, Wadi Halfa - for connections with ferries from Egypt - and even Nyala.
- Get aroundThese come in three varieties; bright yellow and often beaten up Toyota Corollas Model 1977, small 6-seater minivans, and more modern metered taxis.
- Get aroundMinibuses are the cheapest way to get around Khartoum, especially between the three cities.
- Get aroundThere are easily thousands of minibuses and seeing all of them gather near the Great Mosque and Souk al-Arabi is a sight to behold.
- Get aroundNone of them bear destination signs and you will have to be able to speak a little Arabic with their conductors to determine which minibus to take.
- Get aroundMost of the minibuses leave from the square near the Great Mosque (Mesjid al-Kabir) or nearby in Khartoum proper.
- Get aroundIt is better to use taxis or minibuses if you have to cross the Nile to travel between the three cities.
