Sahara | Can’t Sleep? Explore an Ocean of Sand

from I Can’t Sleep · host Benjamin Boster

The Sahara stretches across much of North Africa and is the largest hot desert in the world. This episode explores the geography of the Sahara, its vast landscapes, the people who have lived and traveled across it, and how the desert has changed over thousands of years. Along the way, you’ll hear about massive sand dunes, ancient trade routes, desert oases, and the surprisingly varied environments found across this enormous region. It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
