Africa – the largest desert and the longest of all rivers

The cultural diversity of its peoples shapes the African continent. The Sahara Desert separates the Arab north from the countries of Central Africa, which are plagued by hunger and disasters, as well as the tourist strongholds in
South Africa
,
Namibia
,
Tanzania
and
Kenya
.

The Roman general Scipio Africanus is credited with being the first to speak of “Africa”. However, this thesis is controversial. The continent, which was exploited in the colonial era and was particularly interesting for adventurers and explorers for a considerable period of time, is today a sought-after destination for holidaymakers with its regions differing in flora and fauna.

In
Morocco
, it is the testimonies of a great past that draws visitors to the magnificent imperial cities and the shores of the Atlantic. In
Egypt
, it is the gigantic temples of death from the period of the pharaohs that have fascinated for centuries, and south of the equator, several million tourists from Europe and overseas flock to the magnificent national parks with their wild animals every year. In South Africa , however, they also encounter a state that has found itself after long years of oppression.

With the Sahara, Africa has the world’s largest of all deserts and with the Nile the longest of all rivers. For 1.25 billion people, this interesting continent is home.
