"Yellow cabs, but they're not from NYC" Top 5 Page for this destination Khartoum Transportation Tip by BorneoGrrl

It's quite easy to recognize a taxi here, they're the ones painted in bright yellow. However, the paint might be the newest addition to the vehicles. The taxis resemble vehicles taken from the junkyard, pieced together and reborn as cabs. Expect no radio, no air-con and or in some cases, no working windows or doors. Once it moves, you'll feel like it will fall apart after a few meters.

Fares are about SDG5 (US$2) but if you're a foreigner, expect to pay more. Once, I paid SDG10 for a 1km ride. Nevertheless, it is the option for convenience especially when you have stuff to bring or when you have extra company. So far, I have seen ONE decent taxi, parked in front of a 5-star hotel. It was relatively new and looked like it had aircon & radio. There is hope yet

Update
Quality of taxis have improved in the past years so you're able to get a decent one in town. Prices are still on the high side though
