desert dwellers

Arid region residents

Desert dwellers are people or animals that live in desert regions—arid landscapes with extreme temperatures and scarce water.

The term applies to indigenous peoples who have adapted to harsh conditions over generations, wildlife like camels and scorpions, or anyone who makes their home in such environments: Desert dwellers know how to find water where others see only sand.
