Tifariti

Tifariti is a town in a super sandy place called Western Sahara. It's like a desert oasis, which means there's water and plants even though it's mostly dry! It's far away from big cities, kind of like a secret hideout. It's east of a long wall called the Moroccan Berm and north of the country of Mauritania. Think of it as a special place tucked away in the sand dunes.

About 3,000 people call Tifariti home. That's like having a big school playground filled with friends! These people are called Sahrawi. They have their own government, which is like the principal and teachers at your school, making important decisions for their country. Tifariti is like their main office where lots of important work happens.

Tifariti is super important because it's the temporary capital of a country called the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. This means it's like the main city where the leaders meet and make plans. They have a parliament building, a hospital for when people are sick, a school for kids to learn, and even a mosque and a museum to learn about their history!

Being in the desert means it can get very hot! Tifariti is known for being an oasis, which is a special place with water in the middle of dry land. This makes it a great spot for people to live and for plants to grow. It's a place that shows how people can build homes and communities even in tough environments.
