    Travel to Sahara - the world's largest desert, undoubtedly, becomes one of the brightest impressions for tourists in Tunis. Already in half an hour of a way you will see a majestic Roman amphitheater of III century in the Ale Jam close on the sizes to the Roman Collisseo. It only in the beginning of a way olive gardens around reach, and the nature is closer on the South starts to vary, and gradually the desert enters the rights.

    The region of desert Sahara covers the most part of Northern Africa. She reaches to the North from lake Chad, from the Atlantic coast in the West, to the river Nile in the East. The area of Sahara hardly is less than area of the USA (about 9065000 sq.km), its age isabout 2,5 million years. The name "Sahara" is  an Arabian translation of tuareg word "tenere", meaning desert.
In the numerous figures left in Sahara by its former inhabitants, the grandiose panorama of geographical conditions and the historical events concerning by last ten millenia is developed. It appears, on a place of present desert there was a fertile savanna with the numerous rivers, lakes and bogs, with rich vegetative and fauna. Now it is possible to assert confidently quite, that an original cause of desertification of Sahara was economic activities of the person. This process began many millenia back, in days of hunters of the Stone Age.

    The hunting tribes constantly use fire for the different purposes: for pen huntings, burning-out of forest areas, in the ritual purposes. When during a dry season they set fire to a dry grass, large fires began. By the found out traces of parking, the territory of Sahara which then was occupied with savanna, has been densely enough populated. When local hunters have sharply reduced a livestock of large wild animals, there has come an epoch of cattlemen (this transition with all evidence frescos of Sahara), in result of  re-grazing have reflected and burning-out of lands under pastures of soil of Sahara have even more become scanty, erosion was distributed to huge territories, files of the bared sand began to appear, and many rivers and lakes have dried up. People and pets have been compelled to concentrate in the separate optimum centers for dwelling, but in a result these territories have become scanty also.

    Safari across Sahara will for ever change your representation about great desert, as about boundless mountains from sand. Sahara is very great and various also you can understand it, having seen even such its small part.
