 The Sahara Desert is the largest non-polar desert in the world (ahead of Antarctica and the Arctic if the criterion is extremely low rainfall). It is located in 11 countries: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, and Sudan. What is very interesting is that despite the very high temperatures in its areas, even snowfalls have occurred there (e.g. in 1976, 2016, or January 2018). One of the world's oldest stone solar calendars has been found in the Sahara, which dates back to between 5500 and 4500 BC.
