Helpfulness
From the ferry point, you can hire one of these Bajaj to take you around the island. The three-wheeled vehicle may not look like much but it has gained my respect after bringing my friends & I through farms, lemon groves and uneven rough roads without any trouble. They are very maneuverable and is able to go off road into the smaller lanes, especially in between the houses
We had to negotiate a price before we got on because we wanted the Bajaj driver to bring us around the island and he charged us SP20 (approx. $10) for the few hours of exploring

Getting to Tuti Island is not difficult but right now, the only means of getting there is by using the public boats or ferry between Khartoum & the island. Each boat carries around 20 passengers, all squeezed in mainly because the boatmen try to make as much money in one trip. So I sit close to the lifebuoy just in case of anything. The trip across the river takes around 5-10 min and is quite pleasant
You can get on them from Nile Avenue, just opposite Friendship Hall & the new Borg al Fateh building. Fares are also cheap, about SP0.50 or 50 Sudanese Dinars (approx. $0.25) and leave just as soon as they get enough passengers to fill the boats
Note : Once the bridge between Khartoum & Tuti Island is completed, I doubt they will continue running these ferries anymore
