It ends with a shot of Sting with his eyes shut (possibly asleep) in the back seat of the Jaguar, which is then seen driving off into the distance. Scenes also feature Sting walking alone in the desert holding the camera up. The music video was directed by Paul Boyd, and features Sting taking a trip through the Mojave Desert in a Jaguar S-Type driven by a masked female chauffeur while recording himself on a JVC GR-DVX4 video camera, and then going to a nightclub in Las Vegas to perform the song with Cheb Mami. The critics take on Sting's "world music" did not sit well with the singer, stating that he did not do world music, though acknowledging the North African feel to the song. However, in the reviews "Desert Rose" was cited as being different than the rest of the album, being one of the highlights of the album. The song's album Brand New Day received moderate to positive reviews, with some reviewers stating that it had a "world-beat", or sounded "exotic".
