Saharan Desert

The Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world, located in North Africa. It spans about 9.2 million square kilometers, covering parts of several countries, including Algeria, Egypt, and Sudan. The desert features vast sand dunes, rocky plateaus, and sparse vegetation, with extreme temperatures ranging from scorching heat during the day to cold nights. Despite its harsh environment, the Sahara is home to diverse wildlife and several nomadic cultures. Its geological history includes ancient seas, and today, it plays a significant role in climate and weather patterns in the region.
