[ On anyone else in time and space, that would have been a question. On The Doctor, it's a snarky rebut with a period. There is no way that the desert does; same as there is no world in which Jack Harkness isn't trying to get all the attention of anyone near him with bright, boisterousness that nearly always becomes flirting within about five sentences at most.
Maybe he is feeling a little captured-cantankerous, and maybe he's willing to be that here, with Jack, in a way he would rarely be without great cause at some innocent bystander. (No one, who is not the TARDIS, is allowed to up and abscond with his person to places unknown. Especially not long term, and without the Tardis herself present as well.)
It's not even that he's not enchanted with this place—the combination of werewolf, vampire, and, apparently, newly returned Fey populaces—. Still, it takes so little prodding to hear about the undercurrent of a massive willing-to-consider genocidal silent war going on and the at most second-citizen treatment of those teleported here from their universes and times. ]
You couldn't choose something, say, less flamboyant for the sand and sun.
