Not all deserts of the world are hot; some are cold (tundra), montane or temperate.

Hot deserts of the world include:

  • Sahara - Africa
  • Kalahari Desert - Africa
  • Arabian Peninsula - includes the Al-Dahna Desert, Empty Quarter, Nefud Desert and other deserts
  • Chihuahuan Desert of North Central Mexico and Southwestern United States
  • Mohave Desert - USA
  • Death Valley - USA
  • Monte Desert - Argentina
  • Sonoran - southwestern USA and part of Mexico
  • Thar - India and Pakistan

Australia has a number of hot deserts, including:

  • Gibson Desert
  • Great Sandy Desert
  • Great Victoria Desert
  • Simpson Desert
  • Little Sandy Desert
  • Strzelecki Desert
  • Tanami Desert
  • Tirari Desert
  • Sturt Stony Desert

It is difficult to get an actual figure for the number of hot deserts. Sometimes, because the deserts overlap, they may be grouped as one desert. This is the case in Australia, the Arabian peninsula and the Chihuahuan Desert, even though there are numerous smaller deserts.
