I am very lucky to be born in a region that does not suffer from drought. But on Earth, there are places where almost never go rain. Want to know where they are? Then follow me.
Maybe this will seem totally logical, considering all the icebergs, snow and ice, but Antarctica is still one of the driest places on the planet, as the annual rainfall is only about 10 cm. Precipitation. If you want an amazing adventure , then you should go to Antarctica from Ushuaia, Argentina, he is the southernmost city in the world. During the cruise, you can see the humble glaciers and icebergs, and say hello to the seals and elegant little penguins hanging around. And maybe you'll even be able to see whales doing a back flip, they would envy even the strongest athletes!
Sahara Desert, perhaps the most famous desert in the world, and in general one of the hottest. Located on almost 4 million square miles, it is almost as large as the United States and covers a large part of Egypt, Algeria, Chad, Nigeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan - basically almost all of North Africa. If you want to experience what it means to be in one of the driest places in the world, take a safari through the Sahara, visit local villages, look at the oasis and see actually what is a mirage. Or you can afford a camel ride and feel like a Bedouin. Just do not forget to bring plenty of sunscreen. Oh, and of course, lots of water!
Gobi is a rain shadow desert by egocentric side of the Himalayas, as the highest mountain in the world to block the passage of rain, and thus casting a shadow on the aridity of all that is behind them. On tour in the Gobi desert, you learn how to get camel's milk (I'm sure that it's always been on your list of things that need to get done) and cook local drinks, as well as see what the nomadic life.
Atacama Desert - still one of the driest places on earth - in fact it is the dry and hot desert on the planet. It is located on more than 600 miles and crosses Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Argentina. On average, there is rainfall of about 15 mm of rain per year, although in some regions of the desert there are weather stations that have never seen rain. Also, you think it would be interesting to know what Atacama is considered one of the oldest deserts in the world. Maybe its description and does not match this, but the desert seems to be quite hospitable, due to its unique geography, it attracts every year a lot of tourists. You will be surprised to learn that the Atacama is one of the top 3 destinations in Chile!
Although Hume is not exactly the driest place on Earth, but it is the driest city in the USA. Yuma is the sunniest place and the locals spend here almost all year round, basking in the sunlight. I can only imagine the success of local manufacturers of sunscreens! But if you ever find yourself here, do not spend your entire day on the tan, as there are many things that will be of interest to you. I recommend visiting the Community Yuma County history, see the National Monument "candle cactus" and explore the Imperial Sand Dunes.
Desert regions of Australia - mostly described as the Red Centre - despite the rather stringent conditions, are home to diverse flora and fauna. If you are close, do not forget to visit the excellent Uluru (Ayers Rock), and maybe you'll even get a chance to see Bilby (kind of rabbits) and red kangaroos.
Bonneville - dried salt lake in Tuela, District of Utah. Balance Bonnevillskogo prehistoric lake, one of the driest places in the world. It attracts many tourists every year, but certainly not for camel rides. In fact, every year, there are five well-known high-speed events, including "speed week" and "World of Speed" for cars and trucks and bikes as well as high-speed test for motorcycle owners.
In dry places of our planet has its own scope, even if it's just a feature of nature, which has become a tourist attraction. I think I would still chose a rainy English days, and not all of these drought beautiful places. What about you?
