Port Sudan

Sudan's principal seaport sits on the western shore of the Red Sea in the country's northeast, with mountains visible from the city and coral reefs accessible along the coast. As the main maritime gateway into Sudan and the capital of Red Sea State, it combines working-port character with proximity to some of the Red Sea's least-trafficked dive sites, and the wider region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites worth pairing with a visit.
