6 land neighbours: Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Niger, Sudan 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 4th-most in Africa — level with Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Guinea, Mozambique, South Sudan, Chad and South Africa. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 5 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Algeria, Niger and Sudan are joint most connected of them, with 7 land borders each. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Libya, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.
