The Sahel is a region in Africa that is located along the southern part of Northern Africa. This region is a natural transitional zone between the deserts on the north and the savanna and tropical forests on the south. The Sahel stretches roughly in an east-west direction, from the shores of the Red Sea to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.

The climate in this area is semi-arid. The temperatures are hot all year round, the precipitation levels low, though higher than the desert, and it is relatively windy. The landscape is rocky and the vegetation that dominates is of steppe type.

The countries through which the Sahel passes are Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, C.A.R., Chad, Sudan, South Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia. These countries are also included in a project for making a forest band in the Sahel so that the desertification is prevented and fought back.
