Africa’s Incredible Mysteries – Episode 4: Do People Live in the Sahara Desert?
The Sahara is the world's largest hot desert. With its vast stretches of sand and rock, you might think nobody lives there. But women, men, and children have called it home for thousands of years. Discover how in this new episode of Africa's Incredible Mysteries!
The Sahara stretches across much of North Africa and covers an area of about 9 million square kilometres. Temperatures can become extremely hot during the day, while nights can sometimes be surprisingly cold.
Despite these harsh conditions, people do live in the desert, especially near oases, where water makes it possible to grow crops and raise animals. Others, such as the Tuareg, have travelled across the Sahara for centuries, adapting to this unique environment.
Watch this new ANAKids episode and discover how life is possible in the heart of the world’s largest hot desert!
