Sahara Desert, which sits in the northern part of Africa, is one of the most popular attractions in the world. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. Aside from its massive size, it is known for being a prime location for unique outdoor adventures. Here, you can rent a quad bike and indulge in an hour or two of riding through the sand. You can also try sand surfing if you’ve never experienced it before. Ever heard of a sand bath or a desert spa? It’s possible once you take a trip here.
