Much more likely that there will be PV in the desert to produce green ammonia, which can then be shipped. We'll need plenty of that, and it's far easier to do than building a several thousand kilometer transmission line.
Also don't forget: The Sahara is in a worl region where plenty of people don't have an electricity grid yet. So yes, by all means, build solar power there, but a significant share of it needs to be provided to the people living there.
