How to Travel from South Sudan to Albania: Flight Routes
Traveling from Juba International Airport (JUB) to Tirana (TIA) involves connecting through major international aviation hubs. The most reliable and popular routes for South Sudan citizens include:
Via Istanbul (IST): Often the most efficient route, flying via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines (connecting through regional hubs like Addis Ababa or Entebbe) offers a smooth transit directly into the heart of the Balkans.
Via Addis Ababa (ADD) & Europe: Connecting through Ethiopia with Ethiopian Airlines and then continuing to Tirana via gateways like Rome (FCO), Vienna (VIE), or Frankfurt (FRA).
Via Cairo (CAI): Connecting through Egypt with EgyptAir provides another strategic gateway toward the Mediterranean coast.

Currency and Financial Tips: Pound to Albanian Lek
While you use the South Sudanese Pound (SSP) at home, you will be using the Albanian Lek (ALL) during your stay. It is important to know that while card payments are common in Tirana's modern malls and upscale hotels, Albania remains a cash-oriented society, especially in local markets, traditional taverns, and rural guesthouses.
We strongly suggest carrying Euros or US Dollars to exchange upon your arrival, as they are the most widely recognized and easily traded foreign currencies in the country. To learn more about secure financial planning, please visit our Payment Guidelines page.
