    The Sahara Desert creates a barrier between North Africa and the rest of Africa. It is the largest hot desert in the world, stretching across multiple countries in North Africa. The desert is characterized by its extreme aridity and vast expanses of sand dunes, making it difficult for people and animals to traverse. This physical barrier effectively separates North Africa from the rest of the continent, limiting the movement and interaction between these regions.
