Your Sudan eSIM runs on one network: Zain.

Zain Sudan, MTN Sudan and Sudani (Sudatel) are the main operators. 4G across Khartoum (capital), Omdurman, Port Sudan, Atbara, Wad Madani. However since April 2023 the civil war between SAF (army) and RSF has destroyed infrastructure, caused prolonged internet shutdowns (entire Sudan dark for weeks/months periodically), and many operators have limited services. Meroe pyramids (UNESCO, more numerous than Egypt's) have basic coverage when the network works. Desert and western zones (Darfur, Kordofan) have minimal coverage due to destruction. No 5G. Extreme humanitarian situation. Type C/D British plugs, 230V/50Hz.
Fly into... Sudan is in ACTIVE CIVIL WAR. Khartoum airport (KRT) closed to civilians since April 2023. Minimal commercial flights — situation changes rapidly. Port Sudan airport (PZU) operates on limited basis. Currency Sudanese pound (SDG), volatile. Sudan was a fascinating archaeological destination pre-war (Meroe pyramids, Karima, Naqa). Currently most Western governments order evacuation and prohibit tourism. Massive humanitarian crisis. If you must travel for humanitarian work, coordinate with your organization and local embassy. Check advisories urgently.
