Sudan
hi Peter
sorry to say that there is no other report on my last trip but the one in german mentioned above. I was 2002/03/04 in Sudan, Northern Part, mainly in the Libyan Desert and last December/January on a journey along the Nile and through the Bayuda Desert.
Do you know "Sudan - the Bradt Travel Guide"? the first edition was printed in 2005 and the 2007 edition it is not up to date either. Things have changed a lot in the last years and in 2010 the road between Wadi Halfa and Khartum should be entirely tarred! In the meantime the pistes from Merowe to Atbara, from Dongola to Khartum and from Dongola to Merowe are tarred. There are only a few km between Dongola and Merowe where you must drive offroad, because its crowded with caterpillars and lorries.
In Merowe you can even cross the Nile now on a bridge and in Atbara there will be soon another one too. I am a little bit sad about that because I liked very much the old Nile-Ferry-Life.
I just can encourage you to travel there - its a wonderful country with absolut charming people!
all the best to you
Ursula
