The desert found in both Africa and Asia is the Sahara Desert. It is the largest hot desert in the world, covering vast parts of North Africa, while the Arabian Desert extends into parts of Asia. The Sahara has a diverse range of landscapes, including sand dunes, rocky plateaus, and dry lakes. Its harsh climate necessitates adaptations for the flora and fauna that inhabit it, as well as the people who live nearby. The Sahara plays a significant role in the cultural and ecological contexts of both regions.
