The first difference that arises is that Sahara is the hottest desert whereas the Ladakh desert is a cold desert.

In Sahara there is less vegetation and dryness due to extremity of temperature.

There are mainly cactus and other types of thorny bushes on which the animals have to survive.

In Ladakh, due to low temperature and yet desert climate, animals are reared for their hair, hide and wool.
