Best Answer

The largest desert in Africa is the Sahara Desert which is also the third largest desert in te world. It can also be called the Western Sahara desert. The largest desert in the world is Antarctica; although many people define deserts as a giant, hot and sandy piece of land, the correct definition is simply just a huge plain.
