The clouds don't look like what you'd see in a desert, more like
typical continental rain clouds. Try the famous "web of fate" (I think
this is how they call in Swahili) which can be seen before a sand
storm. Long streaks of thin dark clouds, scarlet above, fading to dark
gray and black at the horizon. The whole cloud layer is shaped like a
giant horseshoe rotated slightly about its axis of symmetry, with the
whirlwind forming at the lower end.

You can try putting some cacti... maybe if you shift the setting it a
little more towards night time, you can have the cacti glow as well --
the most certain sign of an oncoming storm. That, and a night version
of the clouds.

A single vulture perching on a rock in the mid-distance could bring a
lot more to the picture than what I described above. Easier to do,
too.  <g>

And by all means, render a version with either the spherical or
cylindrical camera... you know, for us cheaters :)
