You would be surprised how many different types of sand there are. I have personal experience living in a desert country and they need sand to make cement, and sand for the man made beaches. You see desert sand grains are to big for cement, too salty etc. so you just need the right sand.

Another view:

Desert sand is much too fine in most cases to use in cement and contains such other impurities as dust, salts and organic matter that makes it unsuitable for construction work. River sand is much more suitable for such purposes.
