Trans-Sahara trade was one of the reasons that caravans cross the Sahara. Crossing the Sahara is dangerous and traveling as a group increases safety and decreases cost.
The primary purpose for caravans crossing the Sahara Desert were to provide safety in numbers. If one person or animal went down, the others could help and keep things moving.
