Sudan
I'm planning a trip to the Sudan from Egypt during October - November 2004.
Plan to fly to Khartoum, get the necessary permits and make my way down the Nile via Dongola to Wadi Halfa. Does anyone know what the chances of trafic going down the Nile are, compared to coming up the Nile from Wadi Halfa to Khartoum? Anybody been to Sudan recently who would be prepared to share experiences, tricks and tips. Cheers and Thanks Bruce |

Yes a little confusing. I will fly from Cairo to Khartoum and journey south
unless of course the advice from here is to do the reverse - journey from Wadi Halfa to Khartoum and fly back to Cairo. Cheers "s. keeling" wrote in message ...
