The Sahara is larger than the contiguous United States
The Sahara stretches across North Africa at roughly 9 million square kilometers — larger than the contiguous United States and the largest hot desert on the planet.
Dunes, gravel regs, rocky plateaus, and dry wadis mosaic a landscape shaped by wind and rare, violent rains.
Scale alone can surprise. The Sahara is not one dune field but a continent-sized climate zone wearing sand as its most famous costume.
