The Sahara is much larger than the Kalahari Desert.
Sahara 9,000,000+sq. km or 3,300,000+sq. miles
Kalahari 900,000 sq. km or 360,000 sq. miles
That makes the Sahara about 10 times larger than the Kalahari.
Kalahari Desert.
The major deserts of Africa are the Sahara, the Kalahari and the Namib. There is also the Danakil Desert. The Danakil Desert is a desert in northeast Ethiopia, southern Eritrea, and northwestern Djibouti.
I understand that the Arabian desert and the Sahara desert are not the same thing. The Sahara desert is the biggest hot desert in the world and it is located in Africa. The Sahara covers huge parts of Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Western Sahara, Sudan and Tunisia. It covers the north of Africa and it is separated by water from Arabia.
The Sahara Desert in the north, the Kalahari Desert in the south and the Namib Desert in the southwest receive less than 10 inches of annual rainfall.
The continent that has the world's largest river is: South America's Amazon River. This is due to the fact that it carries the most amount of water to the sea. The Amazon discharges over 7 million cubic feet per second of water. The Amazon River is approximately 4,000 miles. The longest river in the world is the Nile River, located primarily in Africa. The Nile River is 4,132 miles long, though discharges 99,941 cubic feet per second of water. The largest "hot" desert in the world is: Northern Africa's Sahara Desert, which is 3.5 million square miles. In retrospect, that is a tad smaller the United States. The worlds largest "normal" desert is actually Antarctica. Sense Antarctica is the world's driest place, it is considered a desert. Antarctica is approximately 5.5 million square miles.
No, the Kalahari is smaller than the Sahara.
Yes, the Kalahari Desert is much larger than the Namib Desert. It is about 930,000 square kilometres, whereas the Namib Desert is only about 81,000 square kilometres.
The Kalahari Desert is Africa's second largest desert.
The Sahara Desert is far bigger, almost 30 times the size of Kalahari.
Kalahari Desert.

Out of the deserts in the list, the Sahara is the largest.However, bearing in mind that a desert is defined as an area where less than 250mm of precipitation fall annually, the largest desert in the world is actually Antarctica.
The USA occupies approximately 9.5 million square kilometres and the Sahara Desrt approximately 8.5 million kilometres
