Hi Yasar, the border between Morocco and Algeria has been closed for nearly 20 years, Algerian visas are difficult to get, and you can read about Libya in other recent posts.

The Niger routes from the south into Alg and Libya are also closed to tourists (or dangerous), so no point going that way to get to Egypt.

Trans Sahara Routes | Sahara Overland

Short version: go Tunisia - Libya - Egypt as others are planning.

I know it is not "the real thing" but - supposed you manage to get an Algerian visa - you might want to consider getting around the closed Moroccan-Algerian border by taking a ferry from either Melilla or Nador to Almeria and then to cross a second time from Almeria to the Western Algerian port city of Ghazaouet. Both services are offered with Spanish shipping line Acciona Trasméditerranea.

Greetings,
Achim
