Harad isn't surrounded by desert. Harad is surrounded by water(but, yeah, it does have desert on one side). Rhun, as Edacnik says, is rich and smart. Harad would certainly lose if they attacked Rhun, so Rhun could just play it defensive and construct a fleet then attack Harad by water, which would allow them to attack from all 4 sides(They could sail ships up to the bottom edge of the desert and attack from there, and the bottom and sides have water).
