>>1855297>continental climateMost desert around the world are located in continental climate zones, usually the largest and most severe ones at least. Including most of the arctic desert in Alaska. Also pic related is located in the Alaska arctic desert zones with less than 250mm rain in the eastern end of the range, and is extremely continental experiencing a range of temps from -75f to 90f. Most of the Alaskan limestone and granite is gray/black but some of it is beige/brown, a creative and well informed producer could probably find spots to fill in for Egypt at least partially, be a huge pain in the ass though since it's north of 66N.
