Countries that border Egypt
2 land neighbours: Libya and Sudan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
2 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 2 land borders are joint 8th-most in Africa — level with Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Eswatini and Tunisia. Of the 1 possible pairings among them, 1 is itself a border, which is what turns a list into a knot. Sudan is the most connected of them, with 7 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Egypt, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.
