Libyan Desert

Libyan Desert
Libya is one of the largest countries in Africa, encompassing 1,757,000 sq km (678,400 sq mi) of territory. The land is barren and receives little precipitation. Camels serve as a valuable means of transportation in the region because of their ability to subsist without water for several days.
