No, not at all. And you will need a permit just to get to Port Sudan. All road borders are closed at the moment, especially the coastal one as it runs through a disputed triangle of land between Sudan and Egypt.
Its worth the drive out to Suakin and Port Sudan though - nice old British hilltop village to visit along the way. Go via Kassala (where I got my permit) and then come back along the top road towards Khartoum.
