A desert is any place that receives less than 250 mm of precipitation a year.
Desert types can be arranged in a two by five matrix.
On one axis -
Hot deserts: Very hot in the day, potentially cold at night
Cold deserts: Potentially warm during the day, very cold at night
On the other axis -
Sand desert: essentially a sand sea
Stony desert: cobble and gravel surfaces
Rock desert: bare rock surfaces kept clear of sand or gravel by wind
Plateau desert: rocky plateaux and buttes with deeply eroded wadis
Mountain desert: bare and arid rock peaks
On this matrix the Sahara would be a "hot sand desert"
