The Desolate Sands are located within Act II. It is the final outdoor zone in Act II. It's a cracked desert landscape littered with the bones of long-dead massive beasts, inhabited by nasty demons in large numbers.
The zone is where the first half of the Zoltun Kulle questline takes place, gathering his blood and finding The Archives of Zoltun Kulle. It also contains the Ancient Device, Mysterious Jar, and more.
