Algeria: Trans-Saharan Highway

The Trans-Saharan Highway, links Algiers with sub-Saharan Africa, cutting through the Atlas Mountains and the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert. The highway spans approximately 4,500 km (2,800 mi), connecting Algiers in Algeria to Lagos in Nigeria. We drove the part in the middle from Djelfa to Ghardaia. It’s an amazingly good road, divided four lane, smooth and perfect, except for constant sand drifts from the Sahara.
