there were a few tanks (part of the british forces supporting the whites against the reds) used in post revolution Russia but I don't think any were in 'desert' conditions

the Italians used tanks against the Ethiopians in 1935/36

The Ethiopians did have a few vintage light tanks (Fiat 3000s),

but I don't think they actually met any of the Italian ones in combat

it also mentions Italian tanks were used in Libya in the interwar years 1926 on (but did not face any mechanised opposition)
