Tunis to Agades - how long would it take?
 

I am going to plead for a little patience here...

I just cannot get my head around this. How long would it take to travel from Tunis to Agades? That would be using this route - Tunis to Nefta to Ouargla to Ghardaïa to In Salah to Tamanrasset to Arlit to Agades.
Assuming no diversions, and no problems with fuel and similar, how many days do you think it might take?

2 weeks - give or take a few days. More if you plan on exploring.

Thanks CTC,
That helps a lot.

Driving straight through from Tunis to Tam took us 3 days in a slow 4 x4 (Tunis to El Oued, El Oued to near In Salah, In Salah to Tam). This included all the police checks and the border.

Whether you get through in 3 days depends on the speed of the border crossing (often 2 hours) and the timing and running of the convoy down the In Salah stretch to Tam.

Things will be slower but nicer on the piste south of Tam.
