ʻO ka Sahara ka wao akua nui loa ma ka honua. E komo ʻelua ka hui ʻEulopa i kāna ʻeiwa miliona kilomika kilomika. Noho ʻo ia ma ka ʻākau a pau o ʻApelika. ʻO Antarctica wale nō ka nui, akā he wao nahele anu a pulu o ka hau a me ka hau.
Hoʻohana pinepine ke kai i ka holoi ʻana i ia wahi. He mau kaukani makahiki aku nei ua oi aku ka pulu ma laila. Noho ʻia nā holoholona nui e like me nā giraffe a me nā koʻokoʻo.

He wadi, he mau muliwai wale no ka wai i kekahi mau manawa o ka makahiki. ʻO nā kahawai ʻo Nile a me Niger wale nō ke lawe mau i ka wai.
Eia naʻe, aia wale nō ma kahi o ka hapalima o ka Sahara nā wahi one. Ua uhi ʻia ka hapa nui o nā wahi i nā pōhaku a me nā pōhaku. ʻO ka mauna kiʻekiʻe ʻo Emi Koussi ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Chad, ma 3415 mika. He wela ma ka Sahara, ma ka awelika 40 degere Celsius, i kekahi manawa he 47.
