Taken from the Last Desert page on the lotr wiki. Then it should be farther north, in Romen maybe. It's current location doesn't make much geographical sense. Also, all of Rhun seemed like the eastern end of ME to hobbits. Actually it makes a lot of sense, first off deserts tend to appear in drier climates around 30 degrees latitude, approximately where the Near Harad Desert is located, second deserts tend to be more on the leeward side of mountains, and so I placed it behind the Hildorien Mountains.
