It would have been impossible to support a civilization the size of ancient Egypt in the desert, for one they couldn't grow food to feed the population and two there were no significant water resources from which to draw from. Therefore they stuck to their life line on the Nile River.

What area was the largest source of gold for the Egyptians?
Ancient Egyptians had an abundance of gold. Most was thought to be found in the Nubian Desert, which is part of the Sahara Desert.
Why didn't the Ancient Egyptians live in the desert?
The desert is a very inhospitable place. It's hard to find water, hard to establish agriculture and farms, and a hard place to establish a village/town. Just like us, they wanted to live near the Nile river, where there was plenty of water, and plenty of chances to grow food and provide for their families. The ancient Egyptians called the rich, fertile soil near the Nile the "Kemet" (Literally the 'black land', and the desert the "Deshret" (The 'red land'). To the Egyptians, the Nile was really important to everyday life. It provided stability and every year it would flood (Leaving behind really fertile soil), so the Egyptians could plan their lives and their food supply around the annual flooding of the Nile. The desert was far too unpredictable a place to live, when they could live by the river and have a more stable life.
