Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SAHEL (Arabic for `,` shore '); a common place-name .in countries where Arabic is the dominant language.. By sahel any
coast
  belt may be indicated, but the name has become the definite designation of certain districts, e.g. the Tunisian
coast
  between the gulfs of Hammamet and
Gabes
 . Another region so called is that
part
  of the Sahara washed by the
Atlantic
 . The name is also used to designate the territory under
French
 
jurisdiction
  west of Timbuktu and north of the
Senegal
 . Sahel thus understood comprises regions which form the inter-mediate zone between the fertile lands of the Sudan and the
desert
 . In its plural form, Swahili, the word has become the tribal name of the natives inhabiting the coast strip opposite
Zanzibar
 .
