How do people adapt to living in the harsh environment of the Sahara Desert?

Answer 1

Wear loose clothing and less layers. the houses that are built should be cool. and do different activities. During the midday sun people generally stay sheltered and have a siesta. If they go out in the day they cover up with loose clothes to keep themselves shaded cool. why do you want to live there anyway. is kind of an obvious answer because when its really hot for us we try out different ways to stay cool.

Answer 2

this may not be the right answer you might be looking for but i believe they adapt by building their cities and towns near water sources like oasis, or rivers, or lakes.
