Ultimate Desert Driving Guide: Master the Sand Dunes

Driving through sand dunes requires specific skills and adjustments to your driving style. Here is our expert guide on tire pressure, handling, and gear selection to conquer the Moroccan dunes safely.

Important Rules of Sand Driving:

1. Lower Tire Pressure: Reduce pressure to around 1.2 - 1.5 bar (18-22 PSI) to increase the contact patch and float over the sand.
2. Maintain Momentum: Avoid sudden stops on uphill slopes. If you feel the car sinking, lift off the accelerator immediately to avoid digging in.
3. Use Low Gears: Keep the engine in its power band to have instant torque available when scaling a dune.
