== Hitchhiking ==
It seems that in Sudan a symbolic payment is expected, except from the region around [[Khartoum]]. You need permissions for some regions if you want to travel (to) there.[[File:292771 3792629380742 753177269 n.jpg|right|thumb|266px|Hitchhiking is very common in northern Sudan.

Hitching is generally easy, although many of the citizens do not understand the concept of hitching, so it is best to say you are having money problems. On roads with trade and freight, you should easily be able to pick up a lorry. On minor roads, such as those heading north, often the only traffic will be with minibuses. These are modern, air conditioned and pretty reasonable.
Almost every town and city has a police check-point on the outskirts. This acts as a road block and can cause problem to the plucky hitcher. It was often the case that the police would just put you on a passing bus for no charge. The police are very helpful and warm, so long as all your permits are in order.
