SAHARA
Sahara
The Sahara is the world's hottest desert, and the third largest desert after Antarctica and the Arctic. At over, it covers most of North Africa, making it almost as large as China or the United States. The Sahara stretches from the Red Sea, including parts of the Mediterranean coasts, to the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, it is delimited by the Sahel, a belt of semi-arid tropical savanna that composes the northern region of central and western Sub-Saharan Africa.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Sahara
