This study aims to explore how virtual travel and digital tools can help preserve Sudan’s cultural heritage by leveraging technology. The methodology included a literature review, digitalization case studies, and qualitative methods, such as interviews with cultural heritage and tourism experts. The study discussed how Sudan could use digital tools during the conflict to preserve its cultural heritage, one of the key results of this study is the digitization process to preserve Sudanese cultural heritage through and after the conflict for future generations. The call to digitize the remaining non-destructed heritage sites is essential through VR, digital technologies, 3D scanners, photogrammetry applications, and digital platforms to share it with a global audience.enCultural heritageVirtual travelingSustainable tourismVRPreservationText/Conference Paper10.18420/inf2024_921617-54682944-7682
