Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Sudan as a destination for visitors from Türkiye?
Sudan offers a unique blend of historical richness and archaeological attractions, making it an appealing destination for some Turkish travelers. With 2.7 million Turks traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Sudan's ancient heritage and modern characteristics intriguing enough to visit.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Sudan for tourists coming from Türkiye?
Sudan presents significant safety concerns for tourists, particularly those coming from Türkiye. While Türkiye ranks 31st in safety among 40 European countries for walking alone at night, there is no specific safety data available for Sudan. According to the Global Peace Index, Sudan ranks 159th out of 160 countries, indicating a lower safety level compared to Türkiye, which is ranked 137th.
In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Türkiye is 2.5 per 100,000 people, while in Sudan, it is notably higher at 5.1. Although specific data on female murders in Sudan is not available, this disparity in overall murder rates suggests a heightened risk.
The Global Organized Crime Index further illustrates the differences, with Türkiye generally scoring better across various crime categories. For instance, Türkiye has lower indices for mafia groups (8.0 vs. 6.5), crime networks (7.5 vs. 7.5), and state crime (9.0 vs. 8.0).
Overall, tourists from Türkiye should exercise caution and thoroughly assess the risks before traveling to Sudan.
