The Tabernas Desert of southeastern Spain is in the “rain shadow” of the Sierra de los Filabres and the Sierra de Alhamilla to the south, in the Andalucia region.
The Tabernas “badlands” topography so resembles the America West that the desert became the location of many spaghetti Westerns like “A Fistful of Dollars ”.

Taklamakan is a sandy, cold desert in the heart of Asia, north of the Tibetan Plateau. Merchants avoided direct crossing by using branches of the Silk Road that skirted the desert's northern and southern edges.
Swedish explorer Sven Anders Hedin disovered the ruins of the ancient Taklamakan town of Lou-lan on one of his many expeditions.

Tenere is a desert region in the south central Sahara from northeastern Niger into western Chad.
Most of the Ténéré is a flat basin, once the bed of the prehistoric Lake Chad, and at another time a tropical forest. Many dinosaur fossils have eroded out from the shifting sands, including an almost complete specimen of a crocodile-like reptile, nicknamed the SuperCroc.
The name Ténéré comes from the Tuareg language, meaning “desert”.

Thar Desert (Great Indian Desert), in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent, lies in India and Pakistan, with the Indus River to the west, the Aravalli Range to the east and a salt marsh called the Rann of Kutch.
Theories of the origin of the Thar Desert suggest that relatively recent plate tectonic action altered the flow of the Ghaggar river, turning the area into a desert.
The cities of Jaipur and Jaisalmer are in and near the Thar Desert.
