Chris Scott, 2nd edition, Trailblazer Publications 2004
This book is the bible for any Sahara-bound traveller. The first edition guided us on the Moroccan pistes from Tinerhir to Alnif and Merzouga to Tagounite. It resulted in an update for this second edition, packed with tips for preparation and on the road as well. Clear descriptions of pistes in nearly all Saharan countries. A must-have.

Especially for the countries where the French once ventured, the “Guide du Routard” series always reveal something different. More, it’s actually well written and accurate. A nice complement to the main English-language guidebooks.
5th edition, Rough Guides 1998
A typical backpacker’s guide with lots of information on public transport and accommodation but also describes the contexts such as history, books, music etc. Also covering some more remote regions. Be aware however that timetables and hotel properties can change rapidly so don’t rely too heavy on it.
