Sahara is the desert in Africa, but Antarctica is the largest desert in the world.  It may sound weird, but the lack of percipitation in Antarctica classifies it as a desert.

The name "Namib" is Nama for "enormous" and indeed the desert occupies an area of around 50,000 km²), stretching some 1,000 miles (1,600 km) along the Atlantic Ocean coast of Namibia (state of Namibia is called after this desert). Its east-west width varies from 30 to 100 miles (50-160 km).The Namib Desert is also in the southwest part of Angola.\n\nKaroo  \narid to semiarid geographic region of Eastern, Western Cape, and Northern Cape provinces, South Africa. The Karoo is best defined by its vegetation, which consists of assorted succulents and low scrub bushes spaced from one foot to several feet apart.

Deserts are generally located in two broad belts either side of the equator. That is because the surface air rises at the equator due to the higher temperatures. As the equatorial air rises it cools and the water condenses out and fall as rain. The cold air then falls back to the surface in those two sub-equatorial belts. The air at this stage is depleted of all moisture, and because the air is falling it creates a high pressure system that prevents rain producing weather systems from developing.\n\nThat is a fairly simplistic summary of some complex weather systems, but it suffices to explain why deserts are located where they are.

There are many deserts in world however Principal Deserts of the World are 20 odd.\n\nDetails:\n\nDeserts are arid regions, generally receiving less than ten inches of precipitation a year, or regions where the potential evaporation rate is twice as great as the precipitation.\n\nThe world's deserts are divided into four categories. Subtropical deserts are the hottest, with parched terrain and rapid evaporation. Although cool coastal deserts are located within the same latitudes as subtropical deserts, the average temperature is much cooler because of frigid offshore ocean currents. Cold winter deserts are marked by stark temperature differences from season to season, ranging from 100° F (38° C) in the summer to 10° F (–12° C) in the winter. Polar regions are also considered to be deserts because nearly all moisture in these areas is locked up in the form of ice.\nDesertLocationSizeTopography\nSUBTROPICAL DESERTS\nSaharaMorocco, Western Sahara, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia3.5 million sq. mi.70% gravel plains, sand, and dunes.

Largest mammal on land is the male African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana) standing on average 3-3.7 m (9-12 ft) high at the shoulder and weighing 4-7 tonnes. The largest specimen ever recorded was shot in Mucusso, Angola, on November 7, 1974. Lying on its side, this elephant measured 4.16 m (13 ft 8 in) in a projected line from the highest point of the shoulder to the base of the forefoot, indicating a standing height of about 3.96 m (13 ft). Its weight was worked out to be 12.24 tonnes.

Depends on which desert.  I live in Albuquerque NM, which is in a desert.  We have a vast (but shrinking) reserve of water under the ground.\n\nAlso, the largest body of fresh water in the world, Lake Vostok in Antartica is burried under miles of ice in a desert area.

The African diamond economy is controlled by DeBeers. The largest diamond mine in the world is located in Africa. African gold is of average or below average grade, usually a deep yellow color. Most of the african gold reserves have been exhausted through centuries of mining. Now, miners are turning to things like uranium, which is plentiful in Africa.

<The Sahara is the world's second largest desert (second to Antarctica), over 9,000,000 km² (3,500,000 mi²), located in northern Africa and is 2.5 million years old. The entire land area of the United States of America would fit inside it. Its name, Sahara, is an English pronuciation of the word for desert in Arabic (صحراء ).\nOverview\nThe boundaries of the Sahara are the Atlantic Ocean on the west, the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea on the north, the Red Sea and Egypt on the east, and the Sudan and the valley of the River Niger on the south. Sahara is divided into western Sahara, the central Ahaggar Mountains, the Tibesti massif, the AﲠMountains (a region of desert mountains and high plateaus), Tenere desert and the Libyan desert (the most arid region). The highest peak in the Sahara is Emi Koussi (3415 m) in the Tibesti Mountains in northern Chad.The Sahara divides the continent into North and Sub-Saharan Africa. The southern border of the Sahara is marked by a band of semiarid savanna called the Sahel; south of the Sahel lies the lusher Sudan.\nHumans have lived on the edge of the desert for almost 500,000 years. During the last ice age, the Sahara was a much wetter place, much like East Africa, than it is today. Over 30,000 petroglyphs of river animals such as crocodiles survive in total with half found in the Tassili n'Ajjer in southeast Algeria. Fossils of dinosaurs have also been found here. The modern Sahara, though, is generally devoid of vegetation, except in the Nile Valley and at a few oases and in some scattered mountains and has been this way since about 3000 BC.\n\n2.5 million people live in the Sahara, most of these in Mauritania, Morocco and Algeria. Dominant groups of people are the Tuareg-Berber, the Sahrawis, Moors, and different black African ethnicities including the Tubu, the Nubians, the Zaghawas and the Kanuri. The largest city is Nouakchott, Mauritania's capital. Other important cities are Tamanrasset, Algeria; Timbuktu, Mali; Agadez, Niger; Ghat, Libya; and Faya, Chad.
