I'm not sure if there's ever a desert scene, but you might be thinking of Pilot Candidate.
From Wikipedia:
The Candidate for Goddess takes place a millennium after Star Year
4084, when a cataclysmic event called "Crisis of Systems" resulted in
the annihilation of four planetary systems. With Zion being the one
planet left with the ability to sustain human life, mankind must cling
to life in space colonies.1[2] Now in Star Year 5030, Zion is under
constant threat of invasion by extraterrestrial life forms dubbed
"Victim" (犠牲者 Giseisha?). In order to combat their alien foes, humans
have developed a quintet of giant, mechanized weapons called
"Ingrids", or "Goddesses" due to their female, humanoid
resemblance.[2] A school called the "Goddess Operation Academy
(G.O.A.)" is established to train the specific few which have the
capability of piloting the Ingrids.1 They are typically young men
and must meet several requirements: They must be in good health, must
be 14 to 16 years of age, must have an EO blood type, and must possess
the potential for "EX", superhuman abilities which secondarily link
the pilot's nerves to the Ingrid's interface.1[2] As EX puts such a
physical and mental strain on the pilot, replacements must be turned
out by the G.O.A. within a reasonable amount of time.[3] Each pilot is
also partnered with a female repairer, who maintains the Ingrid and
manually blocks painful feedback from the Ingrid to the pilot during
missions.1[2]
The plot of The Candidate for Goddess primarily focuses on Zero Enna,
a brash trainee who has recently left colony homelife with his mother
in order to pursue his dream of becoming an Ingrid pilot.[2] Shortly
after arriving at the G.O.A., Zero becomes lost and is subconsciously
called to a hangar by a mysterious voice, suddenly finding himself
within the cockpit of one of the Ingrids.[3] As each Ingrid is
specifically calibrated for their pilot, this would normally mean
death. However, the Goddess instead links with Zero's nervous system
and physically shows itself to him in a vision.[3] After a few
moments, Zero is pulled free by the Ingrid's pilot, who then takes it
into battle with the Victim. Zero is rushed to the academy's sick bay.
