Countries that border Algeria
6 land neighbours: Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger and Tunisia. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
6 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 6 land borders are joint 3rd-most in Africa — level with Mali, Niger, Sudan and Zambia. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 4 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Mali and Niger are joint most connected of them, with 7 land borders each. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Algeria, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.
