As areas where the Tichitt cultural tradition were present, Dhar Tichitt and Dhar Walata were occupied more frequently than Dhar Néma. [97] Farming of crops (e.g., millet) may have been a feature of the Tichitt cultural tradition as early as 3rd millennium BCE in Dhar Tichitt. [97]

ISBN 978-0-226-89947-3.Other hot spots in Algeria such as Adrar, Timimoun, In Salah, Ouallene, Aoulef, Reggane with an elevation between 200 and 400 metres (660 and 1,310ft) above sea level get slightly lower summer average highs, around 46°C (114.8°F) during the hottest months of the year. Salah, well known in Algeria for its extreme heat, has average high temperatures of 43.8°C (110.8°F), 46.4°C (115.5°F), 45.5°C (113.9°F) and 41.9°C (107.4°F) in June, July, August and September respectively. There are even hotter spots in the Sahara, but they are located in extremely remote areas, especially in the Azalai, lying in northern Mali. The major part of the desert experiences around three to five months when the average high strictly [ clarification needed] exceeds 40°C (104°F); while in the southern central part of the desert, there are up to six or seven months when the average high temperature strictly [ clarification needed] exceeds 40°C (104°F). Some examples of this are Bilma, Niger and Faya-Largeau, Chad. The annual average daily temperature exceeds 20°C (68°F) everywhere and can approach 30°C (86°F) in the hottest regions year-round. However, most of the desert has a value in excess of 25°C (77°F).

Wind is the primary sculptor of a desert’s hills of sand, called dunes. Wind builds dunes that rise as high as 180 meters (590 feet). Dunes migrate constantly with the wind. They usually shift a few meters a year, but a particularly violent sandstorm can move a dune 20 meters (65 feet) in a single day.

Human activities are more likely to affect the habitat in areas of permanent water (oases) or where water comes close to the surface. Here, the local pressure on natural resources can be intense. The remaining populations of large mammals have been greatly reduced by hunting for food and recreation. In recent years development projects have started in the deserts of Algeria and Tunisia using irrigated water pumped from underground aquifers. These schemes often lead to soil degradation and salinization. Atlantic coastal desert". Terrestrial Ecoregions. World Wildlife Fund . Retrieved 29 December 2007. Einhorn, Catrin (February 4, 2022).

Between the first century BCE and the fourth century CE, several Roman expeditions into the Sahara were conducted by groups of military and commercial units of Romans. The flora of the Sahara is highly diversified based on the bio-geographical characteristics of this vast desert. Floristically, the Sahara has three zones based on the amount of rainfall received – the Northern (Mediterranean), Central and Southern Zones. There are two transitional zones – the Mediterranean-Sahara transition and the Sahel transition zone. [50]
