Sahara, in Arabic, means already desert. Also, Sahara desert is already a tautology, a pleonasm! Beg you pardon for that. Actually, Sahara is the second large desert on Earth, after Antarctica. And if you say desert, think nevertheless to the following leaving creatures:camels, dromedaries, goats, scorpions, cheetah, monitor lizard, sand vipers (the bite is seldom lethal!)

  • There are already more than I thought ever. And don’t forget the humans, there is a history here, and even a rich one. Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Nubians and Romans left traces here. And also the mysterious urban civilization of Garamantes
