What were the three temptations of Jesus?

First, when Jesus was extraordinarily hungry after His 40-day fast, Satan asked Jesus to turn stones into loaves of bread. Second, Satan asked Jesus to throw Himself down from the temple since the angels would protect Him. The final temptation was when Satan showed all of the kingdoms of the world to Jesus, saying that he would give them all to Jesus—if Jesus would worship him.

Interestingly, Satan used Scripture in a skewed way to try to convince Jesus. In return, the Word-made-flesh used Scripture in the proper context to counter the Devil.

How did Jesus overcome temptation?

When He was tempted by Satan, Jesus had prayed diligently and had fasted for 40 days. This is a great example to all the faithful: we can resist temptation much better when we fast and pray.

Where is the desert where Jesus was tempted?

Jesus was tempted in the Judaean Desert, the area to the east of Jerusalem, and the Judean Mountains on which the city sits, down to the Jordan River and the Dead Sea.
