Journey Across the Sahara |
|
|
The Sahara is the largest desert in the world and is covered by great seas of sand dunes. Few people live in the Sahara, and few people travel through it. In Part 1 of this activity, you will see pictures of the Sahara and imagine what it is like to cross the desert. In Part 2, you will make a postcard about your journey. |
