E66 Desert Highway Tips
The E66 has posted speed limits between 100 km/h and 120 km/h with regular radar monitoring. The road surface is broad and open with gentle inclines. Ensure your tyres are correctly inflated before setting off, as hot desert road surfaces and under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance and fuel consumption.
