More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The rocky plain west of Marrakech stretches like a low, gray sea; stones catch the light and the Atlas Mountains stand like a distant spine. You climb into a four-seat automatic buggy, engine settling to a steady hum, and the plain dares you to push into its rutted tracks and dry riverbeds. Wind skates across the escarpments and the buggy answers with an even, grin-inducing kick.

History
Agafay’s stony plain is the erosional remnant of the High Atlas; historically used by Berber shepherds, it has long been a seasonal grazing margin before becoming a recreational area for Marrakech.
Conservation
Tourism pressure can damage fragile soils and water sources; stick to marked tracks, pack out waste, and support operators that respect local grazing areas.
