Using Morocco's Sahara desert as a case study this title considers the challenges of hot desert environments, including extreme temperatures, lack of water and inaccessibility. It then looks at the opportunities deserts can offer if these challenges can be overcome. Fantastic case studies provided include: the world's largest solar plant, the "Hollywood of the desert" film studios where Game of Thrones is filmed, large scale irrigation schemes used for citrus cultivation, mineral extraction and luxury desert tourism.
