The Sahara Desert extends over 8 million square kilometres, almost fifteen times the size of France; it stretches over 5000 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. It represents a quarter of the African continent and has a number of different landscapes. We find in the Sahara (which means “desert” in Arabic) seas of sands called “erg”, plains of stones called “reg”, and large plates, the “hamadas”... There are also masses of torn mountains reaching upwards of 3000 metres. These landscapes of fascinating beauty and harshness are dotted with strings of oases which ...
