The Sahara Desert is the world’s largest desert. Only a small part of the Sahara is fertile and it is here that corn, dates and other fruits grow. These parts are fed by underground rivers and oases. The Sahara can be an inspirational experience at night, with the air being crisp, clean and clear and the stars being so close you can almost touch them.
The Sahara desert stretches across much of North Africa covering over 9,000,000 square kilometers (roughly the size of the United States). In fact, the Sahara covers some 30% of the entire African continent. It is the hottest place in the world with summer temperatures that often exceeds 57 degrees Celsius. It has an annual rainfall of 0 – 25 millimeters and is very windy with windstorms sweeping the sand up to heights of 1000 meters and moving the sand dunes constantly.
The Sahara consists of one quarter volcanic mountains, one quarter sand, rocks and gravel-covered plains and small areas of vast permanent vegetation. The vegetation includes shrubs, grasses, and trees in the highland and in the oases along the river beds. Some of the plants are well adjusted to the climate since they sprout within three days of rain and sow their seeds within two weeks after that.

Animals in the Sahara are mainly Gerbils, Cape Hare, Deer, Weasels, Baboons, Jackals, Sand Foxes, Mongooses, Desert Hedgehogs and over 300 bird species.
The Erg Chebbi In Merzouga and Erg Chigaga are the two main sand dunes that travelers tourists visit to explore and enjoy the Sahara Desert in Morocco. Each one offer a distinct experience, however. As the most sought-after destination, the Erg Chebbi sand dunes are more accessible, with modern hotels located a 30-minute camel ride away. The Erg Chigaga dunes offer a more adventurous experience and are perfect for those looking to travel on offroad. Located some 60km from the nearest main road, the journey into the desert will be longer and bumpier, about 2 hours by 4×4 and a 1/2 day camel ride. Both dunes, however, offer opportunities to ride a camel, climb sand dunes, run the cinnamon-and-sugar sand grains through your fingers, admire picturesque views, sleep under the stars, and wake up to incredible sunrises.
