Hi Daniel,

lovely photos, as always - how easy was it to get a photography permit, and where did you get it from?

Thanks

Great Trip Report! Always cool to read your unique reports on places that, for the most part, are "off the beaten path"!

Hi Stewie Mac. Unfortunanately I'm not much help on this. As I was only there for 3 days and over the weekend, I just let my hotel organise all the paperwork, and they had the photo permit ready for me when I arrived. Cost abit more but was well worth it.

I can help here. Any travel agency can arrange it. Simply send your scanned passport and visa pages to the travel agency. They will apply for photo permit and travel permit (if you go outside of Khartoum). Both are free of charge. Make sure you work around Friday/Saturday since these are weekend days so no permits will be issued. There are 2 check points from Khartoum to Meroe, so you definitely need your paperwork.

Thank you, WesternCDN:). Just doing some last minute packing and printing out my boarding pass for another trip now:).
