Food and drinks
As customary in Sudan, drivers will also act as cooks while on tour. Food is usually a mixture of Sudanese and European style. Dinners are cooked meals including meat or fish, vegetables, pasta, rice or soup, fruit and desert and tea or coffee. Lunches are picnic style and normally include vegetables, cheese, tuna, bread and fresh fruit.
Drinks are normally water, tea and coffee as well as Karkade, a hibiscus tea, served either hot or cold. It is possible to buy soft drinks along the way and even non-alcoholic beer on occasion.
Ingredients for meals are locally sourced in markets on a daily basis – which gives you a chance to join in the shopping and haggling. The most common local dishes are fuul, which consists of mashed broad beans, the Middle East staple falafel and mutton.
