Why South Sudanese Travellers Choose Dubai
For South Sudanese travellers the UAE is about family and trade. Here is the honest picture.
Diaspora and Trade Ties
South Sudan has working diaspora and trade links to Dubai, including the gold trade, so most travel is family and business rather than tourism.
A Temporary Health Measure
The current suspension is a defined Ebola precaution that will be reviewed, not a permanent bar. We monitor it for you.
We Check Before You Pay
