Desert Terrain is a type of terrain in Bloons Monkey City. Tracks that belong in this type of terrain favor Boomerang Throwers and Bomb Shooters, but restrict Spike Factories, Super Monkeys, and Glue Gunners. They are one of the most common terrains in Bloon Dunes.
Typical Features
- The first four tracks are all one-entry-one-exit (Which would be good for Spike Factories if they weren't restricted.)
- Some open space.
- Some unplaceable land in the from of cacti.
- Many curves in the paths.

Ladder (Mobile only)
Description
A rectangular track with many straight lines and two rectangular lakes. The bloons enter from the top left, go in a wave formation to the bottom, and take a straight path back to the top where they exit.
Tips
- Dartling guns and 3-4/x dart monkeys are good here because of the straight lines.
Strategies
- It is actually possible to win on this track with only aquatic towers.
- Grape shot boats are some of the best towers to use here, as they have a very good spread and excellent range.
Oasis/Squiggle Desert (Mobile only)

A desert terrain track with one lake. Bloons enter from the top left and exit at the bottom right.
Tips
- Buccaneers and subs are very efficient in the lake because they get many chances to pop bloons.

- Tack shooters and ice monkeys work very well in the squiggles.
