Antartica is technically the world's largest desert - as it never rains there (just snows!)
Here in Australia, we have the Nullabor Plain, & Simpson Desert to name two well-known ones...

The other answers notwithstanding, the Atacama in southernmost South America is the driest place on earth - there are places there that have NEVER had rain!
