The Sahara Desert is the biggest desert in the world.It is more than 9,000,000 square kilometers in size.This is almost the size of China.The desert covers 11 countries in the north of Africa.
The Nile runs through the Sahara Desert all year round.There are also other rivers running through it seasonally.The geography of the desert includes dunes (沙丘).Some of the dunes are so huge that they can even be over 152 meters high.When you go on a visit in the Sahara Desert,you may feel you are in a sea of sand.However,there are also other amazing landforms (地形) in different parts of the desert.
It is very hot and dry in the Sahara Desert.During the hottest months,the temperature can reach 50℃.Because of high temperatures and poor conditions,only 500 kinds of plants live there.They also play a role in the number of animals.In the driest part of the desert,there are only 70 kinds of animals.
Today the population is about 2,500,000 there.Most of them don't live in cities.Instead,they move from place to place through the desert.Because of this,there are many different cultures and languages in this area.But Arabic (阿拉伯语) is still the most widely spoken one.
