Address Sahara Desert Sahara Desert

With its 9,065,000 km2, this immense desert extends over eleven countries in northern Africa.

The Sahara Desert covers nearly 30% of the surface of the African continent. In the Arabic language, Sahara means “vast area devoid of vegetation”. With a maximum temperature of 55°C and very arid regions where it rains less than 55 mm of water per year, it is the largest hot desert in the world. Its subsoil made of hydrocarbons and phosphate and iron ores has aroused covetousness, notably from the British and French empires since the beginning of the 20th century. Today, it is possible to spend a few nights accompanied by guides in some corners of the Sahara.
