WORLDKINGS - Worldkings News - Africa Records Institute (AFRI) – Namib desert: World's only desert that meets ocean

02-07-2020

(Worldkings.org) Namib desert is the world's only desert that meets ocean.

The Namib is a coastal desert in southern Africa.

The Namib stretches for more than 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) along the Atlantic coasts of Angola, Namibia, and South Africa, extending southward from the Carunjamba River in Angola, through Namibia and to the Olifants River in Western Cape, South Africa.

The high sand dunes of Namib Desert and the point where the desert meets the sea are the key attractions of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Namib Desert is believed to be as old as 55 million years; thus, it is the oldest desert in the world.
