The most recommended month is "January"

January is one of the best months to travel to Sudan. During this period, temperatures are mild throughout the country, with an average daytime temperature of around 30°C and cool nights. There is almost no rainfall and the weather is sunny, making it ideal conditions for sightseeing and visiting ruins. In particular, it is the best time to visit historical sites such as the Pyramids of Meroe and the Napata ruins. You can also comfortably explore the desert and cruise along the Nile. In addition, there are relatively few tourists in January, so you can enjoy sightseeing at your leisure without crowds. Overall, it is a month when the climate, sightseeing conditions, and crowding are well balanced, and you can enjoy the charm of Sudan to the fullest.

The least recommended month is "August"

August is considered the least suitable month for traveling to Sudan. This is the middle of the rainy season, and heavy rainfall continues, especially in the southern region. This will worsen road conditions and increase the risk of flooding in some areas. In fact, there have been reports of heavy rains in August causing damage to many people in the past. In addition, the hot and humid weather will make outdoor activities very difficult and increase the risk of heatstroke. It will also be difficult to access tourist attractions, making it difficult to travel as planned. For these reasons, it is wise to avoid traveling to Sudan in August.
