Terkezi Oasis in the Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert, the largest hot desert in the world, was once a lush, green landscape. About 10,000 years ago, it supported diverse plant and animal life. Today, oases like Terkezi, sustained by natural springs, are vital hubs of life and culture in this arid region, covering only a small fraction of the desert's expanse.
