Sudan does not recognize local driver's licenses from other countries unless they are accompanied by an international driver's permit. If you have a local driver's license and want to drive in this country, you must apply for an IDP. Like your local rights, the IDP contains information such as your details and photo. You cannot use this permission for other operations.

The legal driving age in Sudan is 18, so tourists who have reached this age and have a valid local driver's license can apply for an international driver's license in Sudan. The IDP has made it possible for tourists to drive in Sudan, so if you plan to visit and drive in the country, apply for an international permit first.
