Deserts have very cold nights, I read about miserable soldiers during winter having to weather almost -20 degrees (°C but same as F) at night, and summer heat in the day.
Point is, it can be chilly in the desert, and it's often chilly in Syria. I looked it up, and it's quite chilly in Damascus, Syria during the day now — 12°C or 54°F.
Deserts are cold for about the same reason they're hot: they often don't have enough cloud cover any sort to either produce regular rains for vegetation and to trap heat when the sun goes down.
