Khartoum - Sudan - FARBEST AUTO CENTRE

Here is the best contact in Khartoum..

His name is
Abd Alsalam Eltinay (Hes on facebook like this)


FARBEST AUTO SERVICE CENTER
Tel 00246612304675

N 15,5741 E 32,5774

He is a local guy who owns a large workshop in Khartoum. He specialized in fixing Landrovers, landcruisers etc but can also get all bike repairs sorted for you if need be.

He arranged an apartment for 8 of us for much cheaper than camping at the Blue Nile, took us out for dinner, a tour of city etc..

I can't guarantee you'll get the same level of hospitality but you will be welcomed...

P.S. He speaks very good English.

Use this number, his mobile: +249912304675 - text or call rather than Facebook etc.

TOP TOP guy, will solve 99% of your problems with a smile and maybe even a free lunch. I paid about 50SP (8 euros?) each time I had 2-3 hours work done.

If you really have no money you can camp in his office under the fan or something etc

My R1200GSA had a shaft broken entering Sudan from Ethiopia. Mr. Abd Alsalam assisted me extremely nice with his contagious smile. The mechanics were very helpful and took care of all details. I also stored my bike at FARBEST for two weeks while I flown to South Africa to buy the spares. I definitely recommend this place in Sudan.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
