The "Sahara Desert" is a broad expanse of northern Africa, roughly from about 10 degrees north latitude to about 23 degrees north latitude. There are a number of smaller "regional" areas that are often lumped together by the term "Sahara".

The precise amount of sunlight would vary by date and by latitude, but let's use 20N and December 21. That spot gives us about 10 hours 55 minutes of sunlight for the shortest day of the year. That close to the equator, there won't be a large difference in the duration of sunlight during the course of a year. At the equator, of course, the length of the days and nights are pretty much equal throughout the year.

The US Naval Observatory's web site has a calculator that can generate the precise time of sunrise and sunset for any location and date. See the link below to generate your own calculations for the precise location and date you're interested in.
