Travelling from Libya to The Sudan
 

So I've been told that its possible to Cross from Libya into The Sudan (via the Alkofra border). So thats good. Should be interesting.

I'm also aware of the fact there is a Sudanese embassy in Tripoli.

Is anyone aware if its possible to get a visa there?

Has anyone done this before?

Does anyone have any advice at all please about the visa or the border crossing?

cheers

from Libya to Sudan???
 

hi - check first if you really can travel from Kufra into Sudan, the legal way!
(it was possible a long time ago)

>>>So I've been told that its possible to Cross from Libya into The Sudan (via the Alkofra border). So thats good. Should be interesting.

is that some clueless embassy official talking or some traveller who has actually done it? - if the latter they will have been the first ones in years to get through (legally). I find it rather unlikely as getting from Kufra to Uweinat (the actual border) can be hard enough for permission. However I did meet a guy recently who had an impression that it might possibly be arranged, though not in the regular "turn up and pass through" fashion.

Hello,

I worked with Sudanese people in Tripoli.They often got a bus from Tripoli to Kufra and then into Sudan and reverse.I regulary met them at the main bus station.There was never anyone else on the bus bar Sudanese people.

Its one way to get there,but I can imagine you would stick out far to much and would be stopped at border.I wonder how many forigners might taken this bus??.Maybe none!!!.

I can imagine it would be an decent trip,with alot of hassells.Visa would probably produce problems too.
