desert village
Arid small community
A desert village is a small settlement in an arid region, typically characterized by sparse population, limited water resources, and architecture adapted to extreme heat.
Such villages often cluster around oases or wells: The desert village had survived for centuries on a single spring.
The phrase evokes remoteness and harsh conditions.
