Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth outside of Australia. It receives very little precipitation, with most of the continent being a cold desert.
The Sahara Desert in Africa and the Arabian Desert in the Arabian Peninsula are the world's two largest hot deserts (Antarctica is the largest desert, but not a hot desert).The Great Victoria Desert in Australia is larger than the Great Sandy Desert.The Sahara and the Arabian Deserts

There is no landform which overs more than half of Australia. While previous answers have suggested "desert", this is incorrect. True desert covers only 18-20% of the Australian continent. Semi-arid area covers another 45%, but this area is not classified as desert.
There is no continent smaller than Australia as it is the smallest continent.
No, the Sahara Desert is not bigger than Australia. The Sahara covers an area of approximately 9.2 million square kilometers, making it the largest hot desert in the world. In comparison, Australia is a country-continent with an area of about 7.7 million square kilometers, making it the sixth-largest country in the world.
This continent would be Antarctica, as the entirety of the continent is a desert.
Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth, as it is a polar desert with very little precipitation. Australia, while known for its arid regions, still receives more rainfall in comparison to Antarctica.
Antarctica is the driest continent in the world.
