How to Travel from Sudan to Albania: Flight Routes
Traveling from Port Sudan International Airport (PZU) or other regional hubs to Tirana (TIA) involves strategic connections through major international aviation gateways. The most popular and reliable route for Sudan citizens is typically flying via Istanbul (IST) with Turkish Airlines or Pegasus, which offers smooth transit directly into the heart of the Balkans.
Other excellent options include connecting through Cairo (CAI) with EgyptAir, or via Addis Ababa (ADD) with Ethiopian Airlines. These routes provide several scheduling options and a high level of comfort for your journey from East Africa to the vibrant Adriatic coast.

Currency and Financial Tips: Pound to Albanian Lek
While you use the Sudanese Pound (SDG) at home, your primary currency in Albania will be the Albanian Lek (ALL). It is important to know that while card payments are common in Tirana's modern establishments, 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 foreign currencies in the country. To learn more about secure financial planning and payment methods, please visit our Payment Guidelines page.
