Book
The Sahara / [text] Christina Webb ; [illustrations] Muti.
"There is a land where sand reigns and water is as precious as gold. Where scorpions burrow, oasis pools glisten, and the sun relentlessly beats down. This is a place where pharaohs and queens once ruled, and traders journeyed by camel caravan. Get ready to explore the mightiest desert on Earth, a land of epic extremes where only the tough survive... Welcome to the Sahara."--Back cover.
