Die Namib (Khoekhoegowab für weiter Platz) ist eine Wüste an der Südwestküste Afrikas. Sie liegt zum weitaus größten Teil auf dem Gebiet von Namibia sowie in Angola und beheimatet die Nationalparks Namib-Skelettküste, Tsau-Khaeb-(Sperrgebiet) und Dorob in Namibia sowie Iona in Angola. Da die Namib direkt an der Küste des Atlantiks beginnt, ist sie eine der wenigen Küsten- und Nebelwüsten der Erde. Seit dem 20. Juni 2013 sind weite Teile der Namib als Namib Sand Sea („Namib-Sandmeer“) UNESCO-Welterbe. The Namib is a coastal desert in southern Africa. The name Namib is of Khoekhoegowab origin and means "vast place". According to the broadest definition, the Namib stretches for more than 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) along the Atlantic coasts of Angola, Namibia, and South Africa, extending southward from the Carunjamba River in Angola, through Namibia and to the Olifants River in Western Cape, South Africa. The Namib's northernmost portion, which extends 450 kilometres (280 mi) from the Angola-Namibia border, is known as Moçâmedes Desert, while its southern portion approaches the neighboring Kalahari Desert. From the Atlantic coast eastward, the Namib gradually ascends in elevation, reaching up to 200 kilometres (120 mi) inland to the foot of the Great Escarpment. Annual precipitation ranges from 2 millimetres (0.079 in) in the most arid regions to 200 millimetres (7.9 in) at the escarpment, making the Namib the only true desert in southern Africa. Having endured arid or semi-arid conditions for roughly 55–80 million years, the Namib may be the oldest desert in the world and contains some of the world's driest regions, with only western South America's Atacama Desert to challenge it for age and aridity benchmarks.
