To be a true a desert (if you're really tight with rules) it has to receive less than 250 millimeters (10 in.) of precipitation per year. Now if you're looking for a entire CONTINENT than you're out of luck! They say Antarctica is a desert, and that's true, but not the ENTIRE continent! It covers %12 of the globe, what do you expect! In COSTAL regions there's 20 to 40 inches of precipitation. So the answer to your question is that there is no continent that's a desert.
