From what I have heard, Algeria might be a problem - most people who are doing that kind of route seem to be looking for ferry service from Morocco to Tunisia.

I am interested in doing the same route this summer, beginning in Lisbon, so let's stay in touch.

I was considering doing Lisbon, along the Med to southern Italy, then across to Tunisia, and then working counter-clockwise around the Med from Tunisia. This would avoid the Algeria problem.

Just so you can't say you weren't forewarned, getting into and out of Egypt in either direction won't be fun. See many posts in the HUBB on this topic (search on Egypt), plus our own story of crossing from Libya to Egypt in 1997 still remains fairly typical of the border crossing process.

Good luck and safe travels!

Yes, I do ride a ST1100. It's surprisingly compliant on gravel or hard packed dirt roads, but clearly more fun on pavement.

I have been all through Europe with it, and some parts of Canada. Photo below is just before setting out on an 8 week trip through Western & Central Europe last summer.
