A desert is dry. It does not produce a lot of water vapor. An air mass that forms over a desert will have low humidity.
The desert receives an extremely low amount of precipitation (rain, snow, etc. that has fallen at a place in a given period) or lack of water. This would make an air mass that forms over a desert have low humidity (The air mass would not be moist).
