Arizona is home to several different types of deserts, including the Sonoran Desert and the Mojave Desert. The Sonoran Desert is a North American desert which covers large parts of the Southwestern United States in Arizona and California and of Northwestern Mexico in Sonora, Baja California, and Baja California Sur. It is known for its hot temperatures, abundant sunshine, and diverse plant and animal life. It is also home to the iconic Saguaro cactus.

Parts of the Sonoran, Chihuahuan, Mojave and Colorado Plateau Desert all are found in Arizona.

Arizona contains a part of the Sonoran Desert and two others by name which do not meet the strictest definition of a desert. They are the Yuma desert which is a part of the Sonoran Desert east of the Colorado River and the Painted Desert a part of the Colorado Plateau. One actual desert and three names or even four if you include what is sometomes called the Arizona Upland Desert which is still a part of the Sonoran Desert.
