A desert is a region which receives very little rainfall. So generally there is only sparse vegetation. However more important is other factors like the temperature. The Sahara is the world's largest hot desert mainly just looks like lots and lots of sand. Antarctica on the other hand is a cold desert and is mainly covered in snow.So it's quite variable.

As a side note the word desert can be used to describe an area of low or zero population, as in 'desert island'. Thus it could look like anything.
