'''Sudan''' is a country in [[Northern Africa]]. It was the largest country in Africa until the South voted to be Independent and subsequently split . It is bordered by [[Egypt]] to the north, the Red Sea to the northeast, [[Eritrea]] and [[Ethiopia]] to the east, [[South Sudan]] to the south, the [[Central African Republic]] to the southwest, [[Chad]] to the west and [[Libya]] to the northwest.
== 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.

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 everywhere in Sudan will have terracotta water vessels in the cool shade of big trees, with a communal cup. These are great in emergency situations, or if your stomach is hardy, for general drinking water.
