 | Omdurman Transportation | Tips 1 - 3 of 3 |  |
Popular Transportation | Miscellaneous Transportation Tips | All Tips (3) Because Omdurman is the largest town in Sudan, it is very crowded and the streets are frequently narrow lanes.
In the market there is often congestion. Cars and pickups are parked beside the road while haorse and donkey cards, motorbikes, boys pushing wheelbarrows, cyclists , rickshas and pedestrians compete for a space to move. the uneven road surface, litter and salesmen on the street make moving difficult.
Patience is needed until the congestion eases. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 | |  |  | The chaotic bus system in Omdurman | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
All buses heading to Omdurman from other parts of the tri-city usually go through Shuhada Square, so this has become the city's transport hub. Going from Omdurman to Khartoum, listen out for cries of "ArabiArabiArabiArabi", and if you hear "BahriBahriBahri", then that bus is heading to North Khartoum. Buses are extremely crowded heading out of Omdurman in the mornings until midday...you really have to fight and push to get on a bus. The same is true coming from the other direction in the afternoon when businesses close around 2pm.
Omdurman Souq has its own little transport depot, although buses up the main street are incredibly slow, so you might as well get off at Shuhada and walk.
Omdurman also has its own Souq ash-Sha'abi, where buses leave for destinations to the north (Dongola, Marawi)...there are no more bridges over the Nile, so if you're destination is on the west bank, then your bus will leave from Omdurman. However, you can book your tickets from any bus office in the tri-city, and staff there will tell you which bus station to go to. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
