There are special paints for decorating cloth - check out a handicrafts
shop. Usually you have to iron the cloth after painting - see the
instructions on the paint bottles.

I've read some people decorate felt with flocking - use thinned white
glue
in spots and thinly sprinkle sand or bits of brown-green flocking onto
it.

Depending on the kind of desert you have in mind, small patches of green
may
be OK to represent bits of scrub and grass.
