The four countries that are often considered to share borders with two continents are Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Egypt.
1. Russia: This country is geographically located in both Europe and Asia with the Ural Mountains commonly being used as the dividing line between the two continents.
2. Turkey: With the city of Istanbul straddling the Bosporus Strait, Turkey has a small part of its territory in southeastern Europe, known as Thrace, and the majority of its land in western Asia, known as Anatolia.
3. Kazakhstan: This Central Asian nation extends west of the Ural River, making a portion of its territory part of Europe, while the majority lies in Asia.
4. Egypt: Most of Egypt’s landmass is in Africa, but the Sinai Peninsula is part of Asia, thus making Egypt a transcontinental country.
