desert setting
Dry, barren landscape
A desert setting is a location characterized by arid, sparsely vegetated landscape—the kind of terrain found in the Sahara, Mojave, or Arabian Peninsula.
The term appears most often in discussions of film, literature, or video games: The western unfolds in a classic desert setting.
It evokes imagery of sand dunes, cacti, extreme heat, and isolation.
