Trans–Sahara Highway – Northern Africa, Africa

As cool as this ride may sound, locals recommend getting an SUV to cover the entire 2,796-mile stretch. Starting all the way from the middle of Algeria from Ghardaia city in the center of Algeria, it goes through Niger, all the way to the southwesternmost municipality of Lagos in Nigeria on the Atlantic coast.

Although the whole Algerian part is well paved and fine to ride, travelers should be wary of the stretch passing through Niger. Nonetheless, it offers a great experience of riding through three African countries and, for a significant part, north to south across the Sahara Desert.
