A mirage
The Sahara desert covers most of Northern Africa and the Arabic word for desert is Sahara.So the translation is actually desert desert.Wow that's a lot of sand.
Water is scarce in the desert
The water supply in this desert is basically nonexistent.
A term for a location within a desert where there is a natural spring is oasis. The plural form of the word 'oasis' is 'oases.'
I visited the Sahara Desert the summer that I turned three.The Sahara Desert is hot every day and barley ever gets water
Oasis, if it looks like one but is not really there, mirage
Without water, the world would be a barren desert.
The 40 years of wandering in the desert by the israelites was a punishment from god, so those who made the golden calf would not reach the promised land.
The Sahara desert is actually growing due to a process called, sensibly, desertification. In this process, relatively dry areas, mostly those adjacent to deserts, become even more dry, or arid.
You might want to contrast a pond, which is small body of water, with a lake or ocean, which is larger, however, those are not actually opposite, they are just different. I could just as easily say that a desert, which has no water, is the opposite of a pond which is composed of water. But that too is just a difference. Pond does not have an antonym.
The word 'Sahara' means desert.
