The Yahnikurm Desert, also known as the Great Desert (グレートデザート, Gurēto Dezāto?), is a location in the original Final Fantasy. It makes up the core of the Lufenian continent, in the northeast corner of the world map. The Great Desert is also the largest desert in the game, and the Mirage Tower lies in its center. The rest of the Great Desert is simply a huge expanse of sand, and there are places within it where sand is all the player's field of vision can see.

The Yahnikurm Desert is almost entirely encircled by impassable mountain ranges, but there is a small passage through the mountains in the southeast corner of the desert. The Warriors of Light must land their airship on the small grassy peninsula outside this entrance in order to reach the Mirage Tower. The bestial inhabitants of the desert can be quite dangerous - Desert Barettas and Tyrannosaurs have extremely powerful attacks, and Sand Worms can instantly kill party members with Quake.
