The later chapters in Uncharted 3 come to mind.

Shadow of the Colossus has a very impressive desert area. The upcoming Elder Scrolls looks like it'll scratch that desert itch as well.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War added a large desert map with one of its expansion packs. The area can both be completed in the main campaign as Talion, and is also the setting for a whole new campaign following one of the side characters from the story.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning also has a large desert area. That game's massive. Massive enough that I was already burnt out by the time I reached those dunes.
Lots of fantasy there, huh? I can't think of many sandy apocalypses beyond the big ones. Fallout, Rage, Mad Max.
Hey, Fuel, that's got a whole ton of biomes. Desert included. It's the best game to take yourself on a digital road trip through.
Prey 2 was gonna have a desert area. It was called Locktown.

Half of MGSV takes place in a deserted Afghanistan.
Most of Serious Sam 3 levels are large deserts, if you're into mindless shooters.

Ohhh you are right. Should I play it even though I am burned out by valhalla?
AC Origins is incredible in that regard. Trekking through this vast, empty, smoldering desert feels so good.

No, the games are still pretty similar except for the location.
Wait a couple of months.

There is literally nothing like Origins. I am playing Odyssey right now and it's such a drag, and I heard Valhalla is even worst. Origins for me is on par with one of the best world's in a videogame ever. Bayek is literally my 3rd fav Assassin after Altair and Ezio.

Live from NeoGAF, it's Friday Night!
Edit:
Sorry i was to quick. You meant modern and the reply sure isn't.
To provide something else...
In the end these are just levels and the games are not completely set in the desert.
Desert of Diijridoos from Rayman Origins. You could also play this in Legends.
And Titania from Star Fox 64.

I don't know what you will take as modern, but Journey is set in the desert and Dragon Age Inquisition has a beautiful desert level/biome. I usually don't play mobile games but Alto odyssey is one of my favourite mobile games and it also has a desert biome and it makes use of desert. The most latest game with desert level/biome is Crimson Wastes in Returnal. Horizon has a desert and even demon souls has some desertesque levels. A large chunk of MGSV is set in desert.

It has other biomes, but you spend like 40% of the game in one of the five massive deserts in Final Fantasy XII.

Uncharted 3 was in a desert, modern day shooters do have wasteland desert Iraq Middle East maps.

God tier game.
made 100's of screenshots in the game, all of them beautiful. I freaking love egypth mythology and that time period, the architecture and everything in it is amazing. Even while it has the typical assassin creed burn out questing, its far shorterd then odyssey and valhalla and the DLC is also fantastic.
God dam i wish they made another one or just made a huge new DLC for it.

Or is it just one of Adam's balls in my throat?
Rage 2. Gunplay is everything, you'll be satisfied if you love Doom gameplay. Just don't expect anything else.
Bulletstorm. One of my favorite shooter campaigns, most creative in terms of stylish killing. It's just shame there is no going to be a sequel.

Unique game and very gripping.
The gameplay is standard but the game got some neat ideas making use of sand , environnemental traps (see image below), grenades blows sand everywhere and blind near foes, set pieces during sandstorm, you have scarce ammo, you get gradually dirtier and bloody/wounded.
