I think that the most difficult region to live in, out of the desert, sahel, savanna  or rain forest  is the desert. Even though the desert has a lot of salt, a valuable resource at that time, there are many hardships that equalize that fact, and more left over for the desert to qualify as the hardest place to live. One reason why the desert is so hard to live in is the lack of water. Some water is transported in, through canals, and wells are dug, too, but many people still go without what is scientifically considered a normal amount of water. Some people can't afford water from canals, or don't get enough from it, and base their lives around finding enough drinking water to live. For example, some people move to where the rain has formed a temporary basin of water, called a toba, and leave when it dries up.

Another reason the desert would be really hard to live in is the sand. Sand is hard to move through and can dangerously slow travel without camels. In an extreme enough case, sand can cause open sores by getting stuck in clothes and rubbing against skin. Another danger of sand is sandstorms. Sandstorms can last for hours and can hinder visibility, strip a person of their skin, or even suffocate someone.
