The Sahara, which covers most of Northern Africa, is the largest desert in the world, and accordingly it is one of the most famous deserts. However, few plants or animals thrive in the desert, so it is hard for people to live there. In addition, there are many sand dunes, and sandstorm rises frequently.
Five hundred thousand years ago, it was a damp climate there, and people who live there prospered in trade, yet the pace of desertification there is the most rapid in the world now. Regardless of the surroundings, they still have original culture and they are managing well, and furthermore, marathon races and rallies take place there. Then, many people visit there, and it is said that they are all surprised at the vast reach of desert.
Therefore I want to visit there in order to know the present condition.
I think desertification in the Sahara is one of the biggest problems in the world.

Why did the Sahara become the biggest desert in the world? Do you know the reason?
If you know the reason, please tell me.
I didn't know that there had been time when Sahara Desert had been damp climate. I'm interested in also other deserts of the world, for example, Gobi Desert, Taklamakan Desert, Namib Desert, and so on. Every desert probably has each characteristic. I want to go to some deserts someday, of course, including Sahara Desert, too.
