Is the Sahara desert harsh?


Is the Sahara desert harsh? The Sahara Desert's vast, harsh landscape is home to little life, but hardy animals and vegetation can be found in sparse pockets like the Merzouga oasis in Morocco. Sandy. Dry. Hot.


How hard is it to survive in the Sahara desert?

The Sahara Desert doesn't take prisoners. It's a place where temperatures can soar to over 130°F during the day and drop to below freezing at night, where scorpions, snakes and other creatures roam freely across the dunes, where dehydration and heatstroke are a constant threat to those who are unprepared.
