evidence: Crossing the border from Egypt to Sudan overland is not as easy as it may sound. Probably, you think that it is as simple as catching a direct bus from Abu Simbel (the last city in Egypt) to Sudan, but it doesn’t work like that, as they leave from Aswan. In this article, I am going to show you the whole process, step by step, from catching the bus in Aswan to arriving in Wadi Halfa (the first city in Sudanese after the border). [...] Wadi Halfa is still 30 kilometers away from the border. All the passengers in the bus will spend one night in Wadi Halfa, as the bus won’t continue to Khartoum until the next morning. Don’t worry about finding accommodation. There are several extremely budget hotels. Typically, they have 5-bed dorms for 25SDP, which is less than $2. I stayed at Alneel Halfa. These hotels suck but you have to remember that you are in Sudan now! [...] June 17, 2021 update. We finally made it across the border. (After a 5 week delay after everyone in our family got Corona virus-at different times). The system was down on the Sudan side, so it took 11 hours from Abu Simbal to Wadi Halfa. But we were entertained and accommodated by the wonderfully helpful Sudanese customs and border guys. (One of whom, we met later in Wadi Halfa and he helped us get organized with things like buying a sim card).
