The 30 degree latitude area is at the high pressure region developed by the sinking air from the Hadley Cell created by the low pressure rising air at the equator. Winds move from high to low pressure areas. The doldrums are located at the equator, this is a low pressure area. When the air sinks at the 30 degree latitude air moves away from the 30 toward the equator and 60 degree latitudes. Since air does not move toward the 30, there is no way to bring the maritime air masses to those desert areas.

Are camels found in most deserts?
in Africa they are in most deserts
What happens at about 30 degrees north and south latitude?
Many deserts form around 30 degrees latitude because this region is the subtropics. The subtropics experience high air pressure, which means clouds will not form, and because there are no clouds, there is no precipitation. Another reason you get deserts is because they are far inland and thus far from a body of water that can provide the humidity for clouds and rain.
What latitude receives the most direct rays of the sun?
