How Do We Rank It?

passportreports.com's AI-supported ranking model ranks passports by mobility score, a metric that combines visa-free entry, visa on arrival, and electronic travel authorization access. When scores are tied, it first compares the number of visa-free destinations, then destinations accessible with electronic travel authorization, and finally visa-on-arrival destinations.

About Sudan

Sudan is a vast country in northeastern Africa, stretching from the Sahara Desert to the fertile banks of the Nile River. It shares borders with seven nations and has a coastline along the Red Sea. The landscape ranges from arid deserts in the north to swamps and rainforests in the south. The Nile and its tributaries are central to the country's geography and agriculture.

Life in Sudan is shaped by a blend of Arab and African cultures, with over 500 ethnic groups speaking multiple languages. Khartoum, the capital, is a bustling hub where the Blue and White Niles converge. Agriculture, particularly cotton and gum arabic, plays a vital role in the rural economy. Traditional music, dance, and crafts remain important aspects of daily life.

Sudan has experienced significant political transitions and regional conflicts over recent decades. The country is a member of the African Union and the Arab League, reflecting its dual identity. International relations have been marked by complex ties with neighboring countries and global powers. Efforts toward peace and economic recovery continue to shape its regional role.
