'''Saharah''' is a [[camel]] in the {{SER}} who offers exclusive [[wallpaper]], [[flooring]], and [[rug]]s to the [[player]]. She has a different service in each {{SER|nolink}} game. Her name likely comes from the {{Wp|Sahara|Sahara Desert}}, which relates to her species; this is further evidenced by one of her exclusive carpets: {{I|Saharah's desert|NH}}.

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
[[File:Saharah DnM.png|100px|thumb|right|Artwork from {{DnM}}.]]
Saharah is a brownish-yellow camel with closed eyes, thick and long eyelashes, and brown hair. Her belly, hands, and feet are white. The insides of her ears and mouth are pink. She wears a blue waistcoat with golden decorations, and a white backpack which stores wallpaper, flooring, and rugs.

===Personality===
Saharah is calm and soft, even when selling her favorite interior items: wallpaper, flooring, and rugs. She is characterized as a "foreigner" who may use strange wording and malapropisms; this aspect is downplayed in the international versions of {{NH}}, which instead have her speak in an archaic manner reminiscent of translations of ancient texts.

===Gender===
In Japanese and Korean entries in the {{SER|nolink}}, Saharah is male, while in all other versions, she is female. However, her appearance, including her voice, is identical in all versions. Saharah shares this attribute with [[Blanca]] and [[Gracie]]. While Blanca and Gracie's gender changes were intentional, as revealed by the localizers updating Blanca and Gracie's from "male" to "female" in the Game Boy Advance ''[[Matchmakers]]'' [[e-Reader]] minigame, the developers overlooked Saharah, as they updated her [[e-Reader card]] appropriately to "female" but failed to update her minigame data value to "female."

This oversight when localizing {{DnM+}} into {{PG}} is due to the ambiguity of [[special characters]]' genders, because unlike [[villager]]s, who have pink and blue name bubbles when speaking, all special NPCs have ambiguous green bubbles. Due to Saharah's long eyelashes (a trait all camels have) and the Japanese name ローラン (''Rōran''), which was interpreted as "Lauren," they assumed he was female and did not realize the mistake until staff in Japan questioned why Saharah's western [[e-Reader card]] has a female gender indicator.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Jason Nuyens|date=November 12, 2004|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050315060847/http://www.n-sider.com:80/articleview.php?articleid=371|title=Interviews|site=N-Sider.com|archive-date=March 15, 2005|retrieved=September 25, 2022}}</ref>

==Appearances==
===In {{PG|nolink}}===
[[File:Saharah PG.png|95px|thumb|left|Artwork from {{PG}}.]]
In every [[First generation|first-generation ''Animal Crossing'' game]], Saharah can appear as a [[Special character#First-generation Animal Crossing|visitor every two to seven days]]. In the days leading up to her arrival, Copper tells the player that the police station approved an "Application for Permission to Operate as a Door-to-Door Marketer" from Saharah for a specific date. When Saharah is in town, Copper tells the player which acre she is currently in.

Saharah walks around in a random acre and sells one of 18 (19 in {{DnMe+}}) exclusive [[Flooring|carpet]] items in exchange for 3,000 Bells and another carpet item. The player can continue to purchase carpets from Saharah indefinitely, but the price doubles each time, up to a maximum of 48,000 Bells.

In all the Japanese games and {{iQue|nolink}}, Saharah is male. In {{PG}}, she is female but still has a male voice.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Saharah WW.jpg|95px|thumb|right|Artwork from {{WW}}.]]
In {{WW}}, Saharah gives rare wallpaper, taking over from [[Wendell]]. Instead of trade-ins, she asks the player to deliver carpet and wallpaper to special characters such as [[Blathers]], the [[Able Sisters]], Tom Nook, [[Pelly]], and [[Phyllis]], similar to the way that the player works for Tom Nook earlier in the game. In return, she will give the player a choice of either rare carpet or wallpaper.

She plays a part in the trading sequence to obtain the {{I|golden axe|WW}}. After the player gets to know Saharah, she will talk about how she "longs for a {{I|turban|WW}}." When given a turban, she will give the player either a {{I|red vase|WW}} or a {{I|massage chair|WW}}, the latter of which can be traded to [[Tortimer]] to further the trading sequence.

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Saharah CF.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Artwork from {{CF}}.]]
In {{CF}}, Saharah appears on random weekdays from 6 AM to 12 AM. When spoken to, she asks the player to bring her three of either the {{I|old wallpaper|CF}} or {{I|old flooring|CF}}, which can be obtained by speaking to villagers. In return, she gives the player one of her exclusive wallpapers or carpets, respectively. She does not accept any other wallpaper or carpet.

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Saharah NL.png|90px|thumb|right|Artwork from {{NL}}.]]
In {{NL}}, Saharah sells the player a new wallpaper and carpet for 3,000 Bells. When the player meets her, she asks them to lead her to their house. She then leads the player out of the house temporarily while redecorating the first floor room with a new carpet and wallpaper. Finally, she emerges and gives the player the old carpet and wallpaper. She can install typical walls and carpets as well as rare Saharah originals. She owns an [[RV]] in the [[campground]] and sells 9 items for 3 [[MEOW Coupon]]s each. If she is in good terms with the player, she reveals that she has a crush on Tom Nook.

If the player is still living in a tent, they cannot get new wallpaper or flooring from Saharah. This is because wallpaper and flooring cannot be changed in a tent.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
[[File:NH Saharah Exchange Ticket.jpg|350px|thumb|left|Saharah giving the player 2 exchange tickets in {{NH}}.]]
In {{NH|short}}, Saharah can be seen wandering around the player's island weekly any day except weekends. When talked to, she offers "mysterious" wallpaper and flooring that are exclusive to her, which can be bought for 3,000 Bells each. Additionally, she now offers different sizes of mystery rugs: small for 1,000 Bells, medium for 1,500 Bells, and large for 2,000 Bells. Along with each rug purchase, the player earns "exchange tickets," which appear in the player's inventory as "Saharah Tickets." Once five tickets have been collected, they can be exchanged for a free mysterious floor or wallpaper that is missing from the player's catalog, or a random mysterious floor or wallpaper if they have them all in catalog. The amount of tickets earned depends on the size of the carpet (1 for small, 2 for medium, and 3 for large).

With the release of the {{NHVer|2.0}} update, Saharah now has a shop open at the plaza on [[Harv's Island]]. However, she will continue to visit the player's island about every two weeks. Items sold at her Co-op are sold for 1.2x their standard price.

{{I|Saharah's poster|NH}} can be obtained from [[Nook Shopping]] after inviting her to Photopia via her [[amiibo]].

Prior to its removal in version 2.0, when the player scans Saharah's amiibo card and tries to invite her, she will say:

<blockquote>
''<span style="color:#F28903;">Saharah</span> is speaking. You are who? Ah, <span style="color:#2ECC71;">Player</span> is the you I speak to.<br>You have need of mystery?<br>A <span style="color:#22ABBD;">campsite</span> for the going to? Oh, but bad, for I am the busiest of busy!<br>I see not camping in my future, unless it is a <br>A <span style="color:#22ABBD;">campsite</span> made of floor coverings and toil.<br>But it is great in kindness of you to be inviting me! My happiness grows with thinking of it.''
</blockquote>

===In {{Film|nolink}}===

Saharah makes a cameo in {{Film}}, appearing outside [[Crazy Redd's]] during the [[Fireworks Show|Fireworks Festival]].
