Sudan address format & examples

How to write a Sudanese address

We heard you like pyramids, but are you thinking of going to Egypt to see them? I guess you could, but did you know that Sudan has more pyramids than Egypt? It's not even a close fight. In the Nubian city of Meroë alone, there are over 200 pyramids built by the rules of the Kushite Kingdom. While you pack your bags, let's make sure you leave behind the correct Sudanese address format so your loved ones can write to you in fits of jealousy.

The Sudanese address format is pretty simple in terms of mailing address formats. Most addresses have only two lines and three components to be parsed out. Below are several address examples you can compare against and data that goes far beyond the Sudan address format. If you need more information than that, Smarty can provide loads of it for any address worldwide.

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. Building number and street - List one after the other without separating punctuation marks like commas or hyphens.
  3. City - The city or town goes on the next line.
  4. Country - Lastly, list the country code, which is SDN.
