    I always thought this less sandy southern side of the desert was called the Sahel, not the Sahara? or Is the Sahel part of the Sahara?

      The Sahel is the transition zone between the savannahs further south and the Sahara. In the image above; its where it gets noticeably less green but still distinct from the Sahara
