There is no 'Saguaro Desert.' However, the saguaro cactus lives in the Sonoran Desert. Most cacti need a fast draining soil or they can develop root rot that can kill the plant. Rocky, sandy, gravelly soil provides a fast draining media for the saguaro to grow. They do not have to stand with their 'feet in the water' after a heavy rain. When a person travels through the Sonoran Desert of Arizona they will note that most saguaros grow on rocky hillsides.
