Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
Oum Teboul Melloula Annaba Tunis in Coastal Maghreb
The 1,034-kilometer border between Algeria and Tunisia is a busy and historically significant frontier, a primary artery connecting the Maghreb nations. It is a passage from the vastness of Algeria to the coastal familiarity of Tunisia, a route well-traveled by families, tourists, and commercial traders for decades.
