better map?[edit]

Cripes, this is a major country. Could we have a better map, please? One that has all the towns and such which are mentioned in the article shown on the map? Seriously, who is quality controlling this thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.36.60 (talk) 08:41, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Coastline[edit]

Can someone tell me where did you get your information about Coastline ? You mention that this length is of 998 km, whereas in all french/arabic sources it is either 1200km or 1622km. Very surprising to have such a big difference ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.99.196.157 (talk) 13:26, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat dubious claims![edit]

The article makes this ridiculous statement: " The largest such region is the Grand Erg Oriental (Great Eastern Erg), where enormous dunes two to five metres (6.6 to 16.4 ft) high are spaced about 40 metres (130 ft) apart." I don't know if the article has been vandalized? It's certainly a very strange claim out of sync with reality, considering many of the Erg Oriental dunes are a km or more wide and 200 metres or more high!62.44.135.104 (talk) 21:52, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
