The Sahara Desert, with an estimated 9.6 million square kilometers, is the largest desert in the world by surface area. In fact, it is larger than all of North America and Central America combined! The Sahara has been called "the world's greatest desert," but in fact, it is not a true desert at all 80% of the land area of the Sahara remains covered in green vegetation! The dry areas mostly lie around dunes or on mountain tops.
