Our deserts can't compare on size but we have some beautiful and varied types of deserts.

The Bonneville Salt Flats just west of Salt Lake City in the Great Basin which used to be part of the Great Salt Lake. Since it is so flat here you can actually see the circumference of the earth here, and several land speed records have been broken here. Some movies that have had scenes filmed here include Warlock, Independence Day, SLC Punk, Cremaster 2 from Cremaster Cycle, The Brown Bunny, The World's Fastest Indian, Gerry, The Tree of Life, and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

Salt flats can be found throughout the desert US. Here's Lake Lucero at White Sands that hosted a space shuttle landing in 1982:

The Sahara desert is similar to the Mojave Desert. Varied landscape with less vegetation.
