Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals terminal. Fares are not metered, so it is crucial to negotiate and agree on a price with the driver before starting your journey. Local ride-hailing apps, such as Tirhal and Mishwar, are also popular alternatives.

Rental Cars

Several local car rental agencies operate at the airport. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is generally required along with your valid national driver's license. The presence of major international rental chains is limited.

Public Transportation

Public buses and minibuses ('haflat') are the most economical way to travel from the airport to various parts of Khartoum. However, this option can be challenging for visitors as buses are often crowded, may not follow a fixed schedule, and routes can be difficult to navigate for non-Arabic speakers.

Update ident Posted by david on November 2, 2021

Updated the airport's identifier to match the new icao code

Fiedl 'ident' in CSV file uses old ICAO (HSSS) Posted by espinielli on April 28, 2021

I am reporting that the CSV dump of the airport DB for the 'ident' field still uses the old ICAO, HSSS, instead of the new one, HSSK.
(Probably 'keyword' needs changing too)

My understanding is that the 'ident' field is about ICAO code, from the Data dictionary page (https://ourairports.com/help/data-dictionary.html):

"The text identifier used in the OurAirports URL. This will be the ICAO code if available. Otherwise, it will be a local airport code (if no conflict), or if nothing else is available, an internally-generated code starting with the ISO2 country code, followed by a dash and a four-digit number."

Respect les staff or emgration officers Posted by on February 5, 2013

I arrived at Khartoum airport with great happiness after 12 year's abroad from my home land Africa. But after I arrived it changed to the worst day of my life, I arrived with all right documents and visa from Sudan embassy in uk. With out any reason I refused to inter to Khartoum. I guas the reason may be I am African or corrupted officers. I have senn non African passengers they go through with out any problem. But I left Khartoum just after one hour from my arrival with disrespects staff uneducated.i fill sorry forthem. And sham on them just like animals. I don't know if they are in21st century. There are many things to say about them but for now animals is enough.

Can you walk into the skies :-) Posted by swissjust on May 22, 2011

We landed there once with absolutley no sight, closed airport due to sandstorm with a Pilatus Porter... no fuel left for alternative... Once we touched down our aircraft, a South African Captain in Duty for the World Food Programm approached us and asked: "Sorry, can you walk in the Skies?
