Egypt to Morroco along the coast. Possible? Impossible?

Is is possible to travel independently as a British Citizen from Egypt
(Alexandria) to Morroco (Tangier)?

Which borders are open or closed?

Where do you cross the borders? What are the best connections between
cities, what form of transport is best... etc!

Algeria is, I know, a problem. How can I avoid Algeria?

Many Thanks, TG

If you want to do the whole trip overland, you could theoretically go
from Egypt to (northern) Sudan to Chad to Niger to Mali to Senegal to
Mauritania to Morocco. This would involve slow and difficult travel
through some dangerous and isolated regions, so make sure you know what
you're doing.

If you're willing to fly over Algeria, that makes things a lot easier.
You can cross from Egypt to Libya to Tunisia and then fly to Morocco.
The Libyan visa is a major hassle, so you should apply for it well in
advance of your trip.

The border between Algeria and Morocco is closed.

the itinerary.
