Although the world's official hottest recorded temperature is in the Mojave Desert ,(136 °F/57.78 °C Death Valley,California,USA) the Sahara desert by far has a higher yearly average temperature.
yes the Sahara is usually much hotter then death valley, very few days does death valley get a degree hotter !
The Mojave Desert is 124,000 square kilometers or 48,000 square miles.The Sahara is 9,000,000+ square kilometers or 3,300,000+ square miles. That makes the Sahara about 69 times bigger in area than the Mojave.

Hotter than it gets in the Amazon Rainforest!
Africa has the largest area of hot desert because Sahara desert and Kalahari desert is in Africa and Sahara desert and Kalahari desert are hotter than the other deserts

The Sahara Desert is hotter than the Atacama Desert, it's larger than the Atacama Desert and it has more life, but the Atacama Desert is much drier. The Atacama Desert is the driest place on Earth, with an average of less than a millimetre of the rain.
There is a Mojave Desert but no Gila Desert.
The Mojave Desert has been known to exceed 130 degrees F. in the summer, especially in Death Valley.
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of deserts:Cold Deserts - such as Antarctica, the Gobi Desert, the Great Basin Desert.Hot Deserts - such as the Sahara, the Thar Desert, the Mojave Desert.Generally speaking, there are two kinds of deserts:Cold Deserts - such as Antarctica, the Gobi Desert, the Great Basin Desert.Hot Deserts - such as the Sahara, the Thar Desert, the Mojave Desert.
The hottest air temperature ever reliablyrecorded in a desert was 134 degrees F in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert in California on July 10, 1913. An even warmer temperature of 136 degrees was recorded a few years later in Libya but that has been discounted as inaccurate as it was not properly measured by untrained Italian soldiers. A recent groundtemperature was measured by a satellite in Iran that was even hotter but the ground temperature does not reflect the temperature of the air above it. Anyone who has walked barefoot over an asphalt parking lot in summer can attest to that.
