It's as big as the continental United States, but covered in sand. If you like to dig your feet in the sand, then the Sahara Desert is the place for you. Watch out though - it's hot! Temperatures range from 122 F to below freezing in the winter. Sand dunes can reach over 189 meters tall or be flat for miles and miles.
The Sahara Desert, located in North Africa, marks itself as the largest desert in the world by covering more than 3.5 million square miles. Many countries bordering the Sahara experience extreme heat during the summer because of the arid vastness of the Sahara. It can also turn bitterly cold at night. The Sahara Desert is a dry, sandy and arid wasteland. The highest point of the Sahara is Mount Koussi, which is more than 11,000 feet above sea level. At its lowest point, in Egypt, the Sahara is more than 400 feet below sea level.
