Some of the world's largest supplies of underground water exist beneath the Sahara Desert, supporting about 90 major oases there.

The Sahara covers large parts of Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Mali, Morocco, Niger, Western sahara, sudan and Tunisia.

Its surface area of 9,400,000 square kilometers (3,630,000 square miles) including the Libyan Desert and covers about 1/4 of the African continent.

The Sahara is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the western edge, the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Red Sea on the east, and the Sudan and the valley of the Nigar River on the south.

The Sahara used to be a lush region with many plants and animals. It began to dry up around 4000 years ago due to a gradual change in the tilt of the Earth's orbit.

The desert landforms of the Sahara are shaped by wind or by extremely rare rainfall and include sand sune field or sand seas, stone plateaus, gravel plains, dery valleys.

Emi Koussi (huge extinct volcano), a peak in the Tibesti Mountains is 3,415 meters (11,204 feet) high and the highest point in the desert.

Snow may fall occasionally in some of the higher mountain ranges. On Feb. 18, 1979, low altitude areas of the Sahara desert recorded their first snowfall in living memory.

Most of the rivers and streams in the Sahara desert are seasonal or intermitted, the main exception being the Nile River, which crosses the desert from its origins in central Africa to empty into the Mediterranean.

Around two million people live in the Sahara Desert. The people who live in the Sahara are mostly nomads. Nomads move from place to place.
