Crossword Genius

Sarah travelled a desert (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sahara

'desert' is the definition.
(I know that Sahara is a desert)

'sarah travelled a' is the wordplay.
'travelled' indicates an anagram.
'sarah' anagrammed gives 'sahar'.
'sahar'+'a'='SAHARA'

(Other definitions for sahara that I've seen before include "About 3,500,000 square miles of Africa" , "World's largest desert" , "Hottest desert" , "World's largest sandy area" , "Uncultivated region of north Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
