The light thins and the Agafay plateaus blush gold as you roll away from Marrakech—dust rising behind the minibus, quad engines ticking in a slow chorus. The plain here is not sand dunes but moonlike stone and scattered scrub; winds braid across the open terrain and push the horizon toward the High Atlas.

Agafay is a rocky desert south of Marrakech shaped by erosion rather than drifting sand; the area has long been grazing land for Berber communities and more recently a location for film crews and desert camps.
Conservation
Water is scarce—limit pool use to what's offered and avoid single-use plastics; support local guides and camps that hire area residents and use responsible waste practices.
