In Sahara rainfall is minimal and infrequent; hence the vegetation in this region is very low.Often described as a bleak and barren plain, the Sahara Desert in reality is very beautiful and full of different Sahara Desert plants.he Sahara Desert in low-lying areas is saline and as a result plant growth is sparse. The dry weather causes desiccation of plants due to high rate of transpiration and evaporation of water from the leaves.
