Sweet (and actually good) tea with locals

As a foreigner you're most likely to be invited to one of the many "tea stations" in the street and don't be affraid to accept! It's a good way of getting to know locals and practice some arabic. The tea isn't bad either actually. I don't know about the hygiene and cleanness of these places and either way it's probably best to be left unsaid. Sudaneses love sugar and will fill half the cup of it unless you tell them something different. Try the tea with mint herbs, it's quite good!

I don't know what to pay since everybody until now have refused to accept my money, but it's almost certanly next to free anyways.

Directions: You find it anywhere in the street.

Atheel Cafe: Smoking shisha

On the roof top of a building on Airport Road in Amarat is a pretty cosy shisha bar where you can sit down and enjoy some nice flavoured tobacco among friends (the apple is good). One shisha is 500 dinar.

Address: Corner of Street 17 and Africa Road.

Directions: In Amarat, close to the Steers Fast food restaurant.

Mr. Wang's: Beer and Good Chinese Food.

There are few restaurants where you can actually buy beer, but Mr. Wang's is one of those places. Situated in Riyadh, this chinese restaurant consist of a couple of rooms where you can eat your food and drink your beer in private with some good friends. The food and the service is good and the beer even better (you can't imagine how much you appriciate a beer when you don't have access to it!). If you're lucky you can even get a good old Heineken, or some whiskey if that's what you prefer.

Dress Code: None really, but remember that you're still in the muslim part of Sudan which means that you shouldn't reveal too much of yourself, especially if you're a woman.

Directions: Riyadh. Ask around for the direction.
