32 Summary of Outcomes — 3.1. 3 TRANSPORT LINKS AND REGULATIONS — VISA POLICIES — Visa-free travel is in place between Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. In theory, Libyans should benefit from visa-free travel to Algeria; however, in practice, refusals have been documented. Libyan citizens should also benefit from visa-free access to Mauritania, although no testimonials are available. In turn, visa-free access to Libya is accessible only to Tunisian and Jordanian citizens. Egypt’s visa policy has gotten increasingly restrictive in recent years. At the time of writing, visa-free access to Egypt was open to Algerian, Moroccan and Tunisian citizens under the age of 14 only. Egyptians require a visa to enter Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. Mauritania offers visa-free travel to citizens of Algeria, Libya and Tunisia. Mauritanians may travel to Tunisia and Algeria without a visa. Detailed information on visa policies with respect to other African countries is provided in the country-specific sections. — OTHER REGULATIONS — Tunisian citizens under the age of 35 must obtain parental authorization to travel outside the country. Moreover, exiting Tunisia requires payment of an exit stamp, at a cost of 30 dinars. Egyptian men of military service age may face travel restrictions. — ROAD AND RAIL NETWORKS — Road and/or rail travel is generally possible within North African countries. However, border crossings are complicated or made impossible by ongoing border disputes or security concerns. The Trans-Saharan Highway’s Route 1 connects Cairo to Nouakchott, via the coast. However, only selected segments of the route are practicable due to conflict areas and border closures. The only border crossing that is practicable is the border between Tunisia and Algeria; some artists use these roads to travel in lieu of expensive flights.
33 Summary of Outcomes Overland travel into and out of Libya is not recommended due to the presence of militias along the road. Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt also have decent to good road networks connecting major cities. Morocco boasts the region’s most developed rail system, with high-speed rail in place between Tangiers and Casablanca and plans to extend the network east to Oujda and south to Agadir via Marrakech. The national rail operator is the ONCF. Algeria and Egypt also have rail systems connecting major cities, namely along the coast and the Nile river in Egypt. — AIR TRAVEL — Dancer Jenny Mezile performing at Harambee Days at L’Uzine, 2018. Photo: Ahlam Maroon/L’Uzine. The closure of the Morocco – Algeria border makes road travel between the two countries impracticable. Likewise, entry into Western Sahara via road is subject to controls, which can be unpredictable, especially in periods of strife. Algeria’s road system includes the Trans-Saharan Highway’s Route 2, which links Algiers to Lagos via Tamanrasset, Agadez and Kano. The highway is almost complete, with the exception of a 200 km-long segment in the north of Niger. Cairo is connected to Khartoum via road. However, border crossing has been complicated due to diplomatic disputes between Egypt and Sudan and arms smuggling at the border. Due to the above-described impediments to road travel and the large distances between major North African cities, air travel is the preferred method of transportation. Flight connections are frequent between capital cities, provided by national air carriers Royal Air Maroc, AirAlgérie, TunisAir and Egypt Air. The exception is Tripoli, which is at present only connected to Tunis and Cairo (although the latter is subject to change). Royal Air Maroc (RAM) is emerging as the region’s most active carrier, creating connections within the region and the continent that used to only be possible via European cities such as Paris and Barcelona. In recent years, RAM has expanded its network in Africa significantly, rivalling Ethiopian Airlines as the continent’s number one carrier. RAM currently connects Casablanca to 26 destinations in Africa. AirAlgérie and TunisAir are also developing their connections in West Africa, connecting with 9 and 11 destinations, respectively.
