Did you ever wonder how many deserts are in the world? I did a little research and was astonished at how many deserts exist. Deserts are found on every continent, and each one is a little different. I'm thinking it would be an interesting goal to visit each desert, and I wonder if anyone ever has.
Keep in mind that a desert is not necessarily hot, it just doesn't get much precipitation. If you missed the post about what is a desert, click here.

Southwest Madagascar is also very arid.
It is the only desert that i have visited.
Rainfall is around 8 inches a year.
I would like to know the Sahara, the world's largest hot desert, this could be an amazing trip, thanks for the info..
Deserts are present all around the world and quite visited by travellers for spending a sandy holiday tour. Like wise a number of adventurers go for cheap flights to Melbourne and enter Australia to visit the deserts it is home to. There are plenty of desert one can have a tour of and that will definitely be quite amusing.
