no a cyclone can not form over the desert because in order for a cyclone to form it needs the sun to raise the temperature of the sea to the point where it evaporates and the moisture from the water to rise so since the desert sand can not evaporate from the suns heat rays and there is no moisture in the air it is not possible for a cyclone to form
