He is a Greek tortoise. Can you take a picture of the top of his shell, and one of his tummy? And then one more picture of his tail, and we can tell you if he is a boy, or a girl.

The shell pictures help with subspecies. Like, two of my Greeks are Jordanian Greeks, but I also have one that is a Antakyan Greek/Golden Greek cross.

Welcome to the forum! Your tort looks real friendly.

Like Meg said you have a Greek or Spur-thighed tortoise. Most likely it is the subspecies, Testudo graeca zarudnyi. Though I'd need a plastron (bottom shell) picture to be sure.

has anyone think that he is a Desert Tortoise?

No, the shape of his carapace is vastly different then that of a desert tortoise. But the faces kinda look the same...
