Saharan Chad is the vast region in the north of Chad.
To know
The Saharan region roughly covers the northern third of Chad, including the prefecture of Borkou-Ennedi-Tibesti along with the northern parts of the prefectures of Kanem, Batha and Biltine.
When to go
Much of this area receives only traces of rain throughout the year. Small scattered oases and occasional wells provide water for a couple of date palms or small plots of millet and garden crops. In much of the north, the average maximum daily temperature is around 32 ° C in January, the coldest month of the year, and an immoral 45 ° C in May, the hottest month.
