Nothing survives in any desert without survival mechanisms.
For humans, this means -- generally water, shelter and food.
In Antarctica, there is no food, no shelter and no water -- except for melted ice. Hypothermia can set in within about 15 minutes, with death following in a few hours.
In a southwestern desert, a stranded human may be able to find some sustenance, some shelter and at least cooling when the sun sets.
Survival is easy for a human who prepares. Survival is not possible for a human who does not prepare, especially in a desert.
