Northern Africa

Northern Africa is the region of the African continent located directly south of the Mediterranean Sea, encompassing countries like Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Sudan. It is characterized by diverse landscapes, including deserts like the Sahara—the world's largest hot desert—and fertile coastal plains. The region has a rich history influenced by ancient civilizations, including Egypt and Carthage, and today it features a mix of Arab, Berber, and other cultural identities. Economically, it relies on sectors such as agriculture, oil production, tourism, and trade, with a strategic importance due to its proximity to Europe and the Middle East.
