The Sahara Desert is located in Northern Africa. It is in the countries Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritani, Morocco, Niger, Sudan, and Tunisia. It is directly North of the Sahel. It is south east of the Atlas Mountains.
You can find many deserts near mountains. This is because it is caused by something called "rainshadow". Rainshadow is basically that air gets very cold going up a mountain and gets warmer as it comes down the mountain.
You may also find many deserts in other places. You can find the Arabian Desert in Saudi Arabia. You can find the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa, and the Sahel in Central Africa.
