Namib is a coastal desert in Namibia, Africa; the country gets its name from this area. The area of Namib is over 100,000 square kilometers. The name of the desert in the language of the indigenous people Nama means "the place where there is nothing". The Namib Desert is extremely dry (only 10–13 mm of precipitation per year). It is considered the oldest desert in the world: such conditions have existed here continuously for 80 million years, that is, the desert was formed during the time of the dinosaurs. As a result, there are several endemic plant and animal species that are adapted to live in the local extremely hostile climate and are not found anywhere else in the world.Solid areas: 11%
