Current Travel and Safety Information for Sudan

On June 19, 2026, the travel and safety advisories for Sudan were updated. Due to the ongoing armed conflict between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF), travelers are advised against traveling to Sudan. Travelers should be aware of the significant risk and consider leaving the country.

The security situation in Sudan is volatile and unpredictable. International flights to and from Khartoum have been suspended, while some regional destinations are still served from the airport in Port Sudan. Travelers should inquire about alternative routes and adjust their travel plans accordingly.

For travelers who must remain in Sudan despite the warnings, it is important to have a carefully developed safety plan. It is recommended to register with the crisis preparedness list and regularly monitor the current situation via local and social media.

The supply situation may become critical, so food and water supplies should be carefully rationed. If there is an urgent need for new supplies, travelers should monitor official announcements regarding ceasefires to ensure that the area is safe enough.

Travelers should also ensure that their communication devices are always charged so they can be reached in an emergency. It is advisable to make comprehensive arrangements with family members in case a return is not possible as planned.
