Sahara Desert Map
Here is a map of the Sahara desert that I designed.
The Sahara desert is estimated to be about 9,000,000 square kilometers. It is bigger than the total area of Australia and almost as large as continental United States.
It encompasses Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Western Sahara, Sudan and Tunisia.
There has been speculation that the Sahara is expanding and encroaching on the Sub-Saharan region however these claims have not been proven.
Vegetation measurements taken from satellite images showed that over 11 years the Sahara ebbs and flows much like a tide and hasn’t been continually expanding.

Hi my name is Christian Bodegren from Sweden.
I will make an expedition in the Sahara, and create a website where you can follow me on my journey.
You have very fine maps on the Sahara desert.
Now I wonder if I may use it on my website.
Yours sincerely, Christian Bodegren
Hi Christian, thanks for the comment. You may use the map on your website. I just ask that you credit the map with “Map courtesy of Enviro-map.com”. Also I ask that you kindly provide a link to my site from your site.
