Saharan desert
Vast African dunes
A redundant phrase, since Sahara already means desert in Arabic.
The Saharan desert—or simply the Sahara—is the vast arid region spanning northern Africa, the world's largest hot desert.
They crossed the Saharan desert by camel.
The adjective Saharan describes anything relating to this region: Saharan winds, Saharan temperatures.
