North Africa, encompassing countries such as Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, is distinguished by its plateau and desert terrains. The region is well-known for its predominantly hot and arid weather conditions.
Situated mainly within the subtropical high-pressure zone, North Africa experiences hot and dry descending air masses which contribute to its minimal precipitation and desert-like climates.
In this challenging environment, the biodiversity is somewhat limited; however, numerous species exhibit strong adaptations to drought. Creatures like camels, the addax, and the fennec fox have evolved to thrive under these extreme conditions.
Additionally, the area is notorious for hosting various venomous reptiles and hazardous insects, including the Egyptian cobra and scorpions.
