The largest sand desert in the world is accessible to the North of Africa from the Red Sea in the east to the Atlantic in the west. The Sahara is almost the size of China or America, with the unbelievable dimensions of nearly ten million square kilometres. It has one of the harsher climates on the planet, with the prevailing northeasterly winds causing frequent sand storms, and temperatures what soar during the day and drop to below freezing at night.
