Sudan - Wadi Haifa to Port Sudan
Howdy folks
I'm hoping to go to Port Sudan for some diving when there in April '08. SOme of the best Red sea diving to be had there...
I know there's 2 roads south to Khartoum from Wadi Haifa
1. that takes you through Dongola
2. that takes you through Atbara
Route 2 via Atbara is the most easterly route and so best for Port Sudan.
There's a track shown on a National Geographic map at Atbara that breaks off due east from the main road south to Khartoum. Its about 300KM' long and hits the main Coastal route to Port Sudan at Taqatu Hayya
Question:
Has anyone taken this route? Any idea if its a passable - any notion of the state of it - I know it aon't going to be prety - but would like to know if its dooable from some one thats lived to tell the tale..
Cheers
