== Description ==

The Desert Kingdom is a world within [[~~the~~ Glade of Dreams]] ~~where~~ the ~~desert folks live~~. ~~The~~ [[~~Incrediball~~]] ~~family The Anubii are revered~~ and ~~worshipped by many~~ of the ~~desert folks~~. It is ~~also~~ said that no one knows ~~the~~ secrets ~~of the Great Purramids~~ better than the Sphynxies family.

The Desert Kingdom is a world within the [[Glade of Dreams]] inspired by ancient Egypt. Along with vast expanses of sand, stone structures and temples appear in the background of the area. Stone platforms, breakable piles of pottery, and bouncy objects and pillars that both resemble sarcophagi make up the unique aspects of the foreground. [[Devilbob]]s appear as enemies in this world, but with fake blue beards and blue scarab wings.

[[Sandbox]] is both a record keeper and defender of the kingdom, having once saved it from a band of [[Jacquouille|Lividstones]] with the help of the [[Big Mama|Death Fairy]]. [[Raysiris]] is said to be the best runner in the Desert Kingdom, even while wearing sandals. One point of interest in this world is the Great Purramids, a pun on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza Great Pyramid of Giza]; it is said that no one knows their secrets better than [[Incrediball#The Sphynxies|the Sphynxies]], a family of [[Incrediball]]s. [[Incrediball#The Anubii|The Anubii]], another family of [[Incrediball]]s based on the Egyptian god of the dead Anubi, are revered and worshipped by many of the area's inhabitants, perhaps out of fear of their thirst for destruction.

*Due to its scrapped icon on the [[World map (Rayman Adventures)|world map]], the Desert Kingdom may have originally been intended to be a [[Fiesta de los Muertos]] level.

**However, on [[:File:WorldMap-NoObjects.png|another image of the world map]], the icon which seems to represent the Desert Kingdom is a wooden tower from [[Quick Sand]], suggesting that this level may have been another early concept for it.
