sahara overland
 

hello,

i'm questionning myself about doing a trip in sahara next year. As i begin to get documentation i'm questionning about the book : sahara overland.
Is it a good book to have an overview about sahara trip ?
Is informations in this book up to date (border crossing etc...) ?
Any other suggestions about documentations ?

Sahara Overland is the best.
Check out
www.sahara-overland.com for updates to the book.

If you buy the book and print out Chris free updates that are available on the site, your as prepared as you can get.

Other books that I've had use for:
* Sahara Handbook (Glen) - Much outdated, but lot of good travel facts and allround info.
* Algerisches Sahara (Reiseverlag something...). For Algeria, this is the best. But you have to read German.
* Get the latest editions of Lonely Planet as a complement (for travelling in the cities and maps).
* I've also heard positive reviews for Klaus Därrs books, but haven't held anything in my hand. The online material that he put out is very useful at least.

BTW, I'm a contributor to Chris book, you'll have plenty of use for it!
