Hi All,
Great to find this place in the virtual world. I will be moving to Khartoum to work in a couple of weeks. I am from Canada and live in a small town about 30 mins from Toronto. Weather is the best you can have in the world a this point of time but slowly winter will set in and it will be all white....

Please advice me about a place to rent so that I can work in Musherib. I will need a studio or a 1 bed room at the most. Parking may be required. I do not know at this point whether it is worth buying a car. Hope I will be able rent something.

So how is life, grocery, weekends, security, general weather, work culture, power supply, tv programs, cell phone, banking etc.. etc.. Asked a lot of questions in one line. Sorry about that. Let's first start with a good place to rent...

Thanks in advance for all your help.
Cheers!

How are you managing so far, in a country with a very different standard of living? It must be hard.

Hello, My name is Maryam and I am a student currently residing in Saudi Arabia.
Due to the upcoming tax problems me along with my family are thinking of shifting to Sudan.


Thank you.

Hi! I am Lyn. I have only recently commenced work in Khartoum and will be mainly working in El Fasher once I (finally) get the documentation through. I am with UNOPS on this job.

I am from NZ but have been 'on the road' in expat terms, for about 30 years and across about the same number of countries. Mainly in the Pacific over the last 5 years but immediately before that, in the Yemen for about 8, off and on,  and Africa-Mozambique, Zambia, Swaziland, Uganda, Bots,mainly.
Since we can't meet over a beer here, I am just keen to make contact with a few others who  are stationed  here.
Look forward to it!
Lyn

Hi, I would like to visit the coasts of North Sudan, but how it is the situation there? This post is quite old. I was wondering if it is still safe.  :-)

Hi!

Glad I found you all!! My boyfriend and I have the opportunity to come to Port Sudan and help grow a business situated about 30km to the north.
We are used to living overseas, having been based in indonesia for the past while, and we have some questions and concerns around making this move. Mostly around culture, safety and general quality of life.

We are very considerate of other cultures, but I know there's a big difference between being considerate while visiting and living, so having never lived in an Arab country, I'm keen to understand how western women are perceived/treated, especially in the work place in respect of being managed by a western woman?

In terms of expat lifestyle, I've read that there are not that many things to do in Port Sudan, are there expat meet ups? Any insight about the general lifestyle would be appreciated!
