The 10 largest deserts in the world:
1.) Antarctic Desert - covers most of Antarctica
2.) Sahara - covers most of northern Africa
3.) Arabian Desert - located on the Arabian Peninsula
4.) Gobi Desert - located in northwest China and southern Mongolia
5.) Kalahari Desert - located in south central Africa
6.) Patagonian Desert - located mostly in Argentina
7.) Great Victoria Desert - located in south-central Australia
8.) Syrian Desert - located in the Middle East
9.) Great Basin Desert primarily located in Nevada and Utah of the United States
10.) Chihuahuan Desert - Located in Mexico and the states of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona of the United States

Large deserts of the world include the Antarctic, which is a cold desert, the Sahara, which is the largest hot desert, and the Gobi in Mongolia.

Some sources class the "Australian desert" as one of the world's largest, but the so-called Australian desert is in fact made up of numerous smaller deserts.
