Sudan 1951 Airmail, Camel Postman

Sudan · 1951 · 50p

This definitive airmail stamp features a dynamic design of a camel postman, known as a 'hageen,' riding at speed. The image highlights the traditional method of mail delivery across the vast Sudanese landscape, with the rider holding a letter aloft.

Issued in 1951 during the Anglo-Egyptian condominium period, this stamp represents a key mode of communication in Sudan before modern infrastructure became widespread. It is part of a long-running definitive series that was in use for many years.
