BY LAND
The main road entry points are Maghnia
(Morocco), Souk-Ahras, Tebessa and El Kala
(Tunisia), Fort Thiriet (Libya), In Guezzam
(Niger) and Bordj Mokhtar (Mali). There
is a pretty good network of paved roads
in the coastal regions and paved roads
also connect the major towns in the northern
Sahara. Further south, the only really
good roads are the stretches of paved roads
on the two trans-Saharan 'highways', one
of which runs to the west through Reggane
and up through Morocco to the coast, and
the other through Tamanrasset and Djanet
and on to Ghardaia and Algiers. Please
note that many desert 'roads' are not what
you might expect, but rather, up to 6 mile-wide
(10km) areas of unimproved desert that
are suitable only for well-maintained 4-wheel-drive
vehicles.
Coach services, run by National Travel
and Transport Company, offer international
routes to Tunisia and Morocco.
