The Most Mesmerizing Deserts in the World

When we think of the famous deserts in the world, we often think of uninhabitable wastelands parched by a blistering sun. We imagine the driest desert in the world, forbidding and desolate, with windswept sands as far as the eye can see. It is seldom that we consider that the major deserts of the world hold amazingly hardy life, or consider the beauty held in the major deserts of the world. The rugged desert landscapes are home to an astounding variety of plant and animal life that defy the harsh climates and formidable terrain. The desert is a humbling, yet truly fascinating and inspiring place to visit.
