Located in North Africa, the Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world. Geographically
the Sahara Desert covers as many as eleven different countries including Egypt Libya, Tunisia,
Algeria, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan, with an area
of around 9.4 million square kilometres.
The term 'Sahara' has its origin in the Arabic language, meaning 'desert". Predictably, it
is one of the most consistently hottest places in the world.
On the other hand, it can drop below freezing point rapidly at nights. In general, the
climate is hot, dry and windy. While it rarely rains in some parts, there are regions which do
not see a drop of rain in years!
All this makes Sahara an inhospitable place to live. It is estimated that only less than
2.5 million people live in the region, despite its vastness.
The highest point in the desert is the volcano named Emi Koussi in Chad. Historians
note that thousands of years ago, the Sahara Desert had enough water to let people live well. write summary of the above passage
