Hi,

if someone asks you the best reasons for making the choice to live and stay in Sudan, what would be your top 5?

Thanks in advance for participating,

Julien

The Egyptian

1- Good salaries.

2- Dry weather. No humidity whatsoever

3- Very safe place to be (I am talking about Khartoum)

4- Sudanese people are very hospitable, friendly and kind.

5- Natural produce here is truly natural and delicious (mangos, watermelons, bananas ...... yummy !)

6- One more reason for me as an Egyptian : Visa-free, work permit-free, and unrestricted access.

Middle Eastern standard. I am a freelance telecom consultant. Khartoum is full of expats (mainly Egyptians, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Europeans and Asians).

Ethiopians/Eritreans are mainly blue collar.

Egyptians are doing anything and everything.

Europeans/Asians are mainly here doing what I do (not Telecom in particular, but just expat consultants in every field. Telecom, Oil, Aviation ......etc.).

The service industry is thriving here, and any service that caters to foreigners is thriving.

Be it food and beverage, entertainment .......etc.

Any entertainment business that caters to foreigners.

A decent place to eat and drink. A nice, upscale place for gentlemen to play billiards, a bowling alley (there are none here), a paintball arena ......etc.

Lots of foreigners, with lots of money, who are bored and have nothing to do during weekends. You get my point?

I think good salary more than some Asian countries if compared specially for those who are working with INGOs and multinationals.

What translate a good range of salaries?
Khartoum would definitely benefit from supplies of good electronic goods that don't have to come from the US or Europe. An improved internet service helps a great deal as many expats spend a lot of their time online either for  business connections, research, communication and leisure.
