Andréa Peterhansel’s tips for desert driving

Redaction-TSE — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 17:14:04 +0000

Andréa Peterhansel's essential tips for safe desert riding

Magnificent, mysterious and bewitching, the desert hides many dangers for the driver. To guide you, Andréa Peterhansel, experienced off-road rally driver and great connoisseur of desert races, shares her invaluable advice.

General advice

On unfamiliar trails, moderate your speed to limit the risks associated with excessive speed.
Remain constantly vigilant for holes, wadis and invisible obstacles.
Small broken dunes can cause unexpected falls: keep your eyes open.
If visibility is reduced by dust, slow down to better anticipate obstacles and limit risks.
Respect the distances between motorcyclists to avoid collisions in the event of a sudden stop.

Dehydration and heat

Drink regularly, even if you’re not thirsty, to avoid dehydration.
A Camelbak is ideal for hydrating without stopping.
Avoid breaks in direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day to reduce the risk of heatstroke.

Fauna and flora

Keep an eye on your tires when camel grass is present, as its rigidity can be dangerous.
Avoid thorns to prevent punctures.
During breaks, keep your helmet and gloves off the ground to avoid being bitten by scorpions or snakes.

Navigation and orientation

For safe navigation, stay with the guide and respect the prescribed distances.
If you lose sight of the group, stay put and wait for instructions to facilitate the reunion.

Maintenance and repairs

Be prepared for punctures and falls, and adapt your speed to the terrain.
In an emergency, stay calm, wait for the next guide and provide first aid if necessary.

💡 Additional tip:
Remember to pack full equipment (goggles, gloves, protection, GPS) and manage your energy: regular breaks, diet and sleep are essential to enjoy the desert safely.

Riding in the desert for the first time

Discovering the desert by motorcycle for the first time is an unforgettable experience… but it’s best to be well accompanied. There are several options open to you:

Training at the Ténéré Center in Morocco: here you can rent a motorcycle and benefit from the advice of an experienced guide like Jordi Arcarons. An ideal way to get started in the best possible conditions.
Take part in a guided raid: on our adventures, a guide is always on hand to accompany the raiders, teach the necessary techniques and ensure everyone’s safety. It’s a great way to discover the desert with confidence.

Whatever you choose, the most important thing is to ride safely while enjoying the scenery and the adventure.
