Because it provides water in an otherwise desert environment and the soil along the Nile is fertile for growing crops.

Before the invention of modern Plumbing, it was necessary for people to live near a water source. As societies developed, they tended to stay near the original settlements. This is especially true in the harsh desert environment of Egypt. The Nile was also used for transportation, as it is easier to float a barge or boat than ride across sand dunes.
