The Sahara Desert is one of the most prominent deserts in the world. It experiences the harshest weather on earth. The economy of the Saharan countries relies mainly on mineral deposits and oil.

Sahara Desert is among the world's most popular desert. It is featured in some of the known Hollywood movies because of its distinct features.

Sahara Desert is considered the hottest and largest desert in the whole world, which covers most part of North Africa. It measures around 800 to 1,200 miles from north to south and 4,800 kilometers from west to east. Africa was inevitably divided into two regions because of the desert's very vast area. On the western side, the desert is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean while on the eastern side is the Red Sea. On the northern part of the desert, it is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlas Mountains.

"Ship of the desert"

The camels are able to travel vast distances in desert, drink from waterholes far more bitter or saline for others and eat almost anything, regardless of how tough or how thorny they are. People can even survive on what is in a camel' s stomach. Camels provide milk and fuel as its dry dung can burn readily.

A camel has leathery mouth, tongue and tooth enamel, enabling it to eat thorny desert plants. They can drink 100 litres of water within 10 minutes for future use. They can live without taking in water for 3 or 4 days.

The fur allows excess body temperature to radiate out and protect them from cold nights.

Amazing photo!! This desert is something that has to be seen with ones own eyes to believe, I'm sure!!
Love the warm colors of the morning light ... beautiful.
A better composition might have had the man and camel more to the left side of the shot, walking into the negative space .. but still, great job.

Hi Tsilla,

Very well done, my friend.

Hi Tsilla,
Awesome shot! You've captured the dry colours of the desert perfectly. Great composition of the person and camel too, I like how you've included space up the top to show the ripply sand dunes. Can almost feel the heat from here! Bravo.
