About Adareil
Malut, which is in the Upper Nile State of South Sudan, is located on the northeast corner of the country. Fishing is one of the most important livelihoods of the city's people. Sorghum and corn are the main agricultural products.
On the banks of the Nile, Malut is found on a wide plain between savanna pastures and acacia trees, and often faces drought problems. The city is under the influence of steppe climate. Especially between April and October the temperature is approaching 40 degrees Celsius. The temperature is not dropping much throughout the year. Rainfall is very rare.
Although the Nile River is the most important transportation route of Malut, another important transportation point of the city is Adareil Airport.
Since water resources are not adequately protected and cleanliness is not under control, epidemics can be seen from time to time in the city. During the visits of strangers in the city, it is recommended that they only drink bottled water and wash vegetables and fruits with plenty of drinking water. Even if there is a hospital in the city, it is not very well equipped and can only deal with basic health problems.
It is not possible to say Malut, a small and poor settlement in a country that has had many wars in the history, is a tourist spot. Things that can be done in the city do not go beyond being a part of the daily life of local people. Taking a walk or picnic along the banks of the Nile River is among the rare activities that can color your time while in the city.
Transportation to Adareil City Center from Airport
Adareil Airport
For transportation to Adareil, you can fly to the Khartoum International Airport, which hosts regular flights to and from many destinations. The transportation options are extremely limited in Khartoum, the capital and second largest city of Sudan. In order to get to Adareil from the capital, you can take a taxi at the airport and go to the bus terminal that is only a few kilometers away. There you can take a bus to reach directly to Adareil. You can also take advantage of taking a taxi at Khartoum International Airport to reach Adareil directly, but please keep in mind that this will be much more expensive compared to intercity bus services.
Taxi
Taxi is the first choice of visitors since there is no public transport from Khartoum International Airport to reach Adareil city center directly. You can arrive at the bus terminal in a very short time by taking a taxi from the airport, which is located in a very central area of the capital, and then you can take an intercity bus in the Adareil direction from the terminal. You can also prefer to reach Adareil directly by taxi. However, the taxi ride from Khartoum to Adareil would be a costly alternative. The taxi ride from the airport to Khartoum city center will cost around 20-30$.
Bus
You can go out of the airport terminal and take one of the local buses and minibusses passing by, so you can get to Khartoum city center cheaper. However, this may sound highly complicated to the visitors who are not familiar with the city because they may lose their sense of direction easily. Once you reach Khartoum city center by bus, you may need to take a bus or taxi once again to get to the bus terminal, where you will get on the bus to Adareil.
The bus ride in the city is often considered safe during the day, but you should be more careful about your safety at night. If your budget is not very limited, you can enjoy a fast and safe trip by choosing the taxi option instead of the bus ride.
Rent a car
After landing at Khartoum International Airport, you can also take advantage of renting a car to reach Adareil as another alternative. The passengers who would especially like to make a stop at different points on the road and make a flexible travel plan can rent a car in Khartoum to reach Adareil without thinking too much. When it comes to disadvantages of car rental option, one can say that the direction signs in Sudan are mostly very complicated and difficult to understand. If you have never been to the area before and if you are planning to travel by car for the first time, you are recommended to put car rental option aside and get on a bus to the terminal for bus transfer to Adareil.
Private Transfer Services
The use of private transfer service is not particularly common on this route. However, if you are traveling to Adareil for an event or organization, you can arrange a private transfer service vehicle for yourself by getting assistance from local officials and guides. The private transfer service, much more comfortable and safer than buses, will make your trip to Sudan much easier. You can take advantage of this service just to get to the bus terminal from Khartoum International Airport as well. To do so, you should inform the service company of your arrival time in advance and you may have to wait for a while in front of the terminal building. If you want to travel without waiting, you can take a taxi at the terminal exit of Khartoum International Airport.
