The Sahara desert stretching across North Africa from Morocco, through Algeria to Tunisia is the size of the USA but only about 25% sand.
The rest is composed of volcanic hills, rock and gravel plains and some vegetation which is home to around 300 species of bird
and animals such as mongooses, snakes, jackals, hares, deer, foxes and even baboons. Desert experiences are
not to be missed, though preferably on camel back and for a couple of days, including sleeping under the stars.
