Saguaro cacti standing sentinel across a valley that turns properly hot the moment summer arrives, resort pools built for exactly that problem, and a sunset that does something different to the sky almost every single evening.
The best time to visit Phoenix & the Sonoran Desert is Nov–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (85°F).
