For example, Just a few hours north of the Phoenix metropolitan area you are going to have access to the very famous Grand Canyon.  People also move to Arizona to see a very little canyon, Canyon de Chelly National Monument, a very popular national monument. Very scenic overlooks, along with the Anasazi ruins, this canyon will not let you down in terms of scenery. People mostly move here to see all the canyons and state parks.

Including a Haboob A Haboob is an intense dust storm that occurs during monsoon season. The term originated from an arabic term meaning wind. When a thunderstorm produces a downdraft, dirt from the desert floor is swirled up to produce a Haboob. For example, Haboobs are common in desert areas throughout arid regions such as Kuwait, Iraq and in parts of southwest United States including Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. On average, there are about three haboobs that occur in Phoenix every year.

The Nile and Niger rivers, both fed by rains outside the desert, are the only permanent rivers in the region. Water is present at or just below the surface gravel in streams that radiate from the mountain massifs, in scattered oases where the water table comes to the surface, and at greater depths in huge underground aquifers. The aquifers are believed to be filled with water dating from the Pleistocene epoch, when the Sahara was much wetter than it is today and had very large lakes. The more than 20 lakes and areas of salt flats and boggy salt marshes are also considered relics from this pluvial period. Important discoveries of minerals, oil, and gas have been made in the Sahara. There are huge oil and gas deposits in Algeria and Libya, but in most cases, inaccessibility has delayed exploitation. In searching for oil reserves, underground deposits of water also have been found. For example, Extensive iron ore deposits are worked in the Fort Gouraud area of Mauritania. Salt is still mined, as in the past, at Taoudenni, Mali, and at Bilma, Niger, and is transported, as in the days of the great medieval kingdoms of W Africa, by camel caravans across the desert.
