Feet in the sand, wind pressing cool and sharp against your cheeks, the Agafay plateau opens like a slow-moving film—rock and low scrub rolling toward the shadowed High Atlas. A single-file line of dromedaries carries small groups up gentle rises; the animals tread with patient confidence while the horizon widens to reveal stony ridges and the occasional olive grove.

Wildlife
History
Agafay’s stony plains have long been a seasonal grazing and transit area linking mountain communities with Marrakech; its modern tourism scene grew from local camp hospitality and city demand for nearby desert experiences.
Conservation
Water is scarce and soils are fragile—stay on established tracks, avoid open fires off designated areas, and support camps that hire local staff and source produce regionally.

Hydrate before and during the trip
Bring a filled, reusable water bottle—the desert is dry and bottled water is limited to the dinner setup.
Sun protection is vital
Use SPF, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses; the plateau reflects a lot of solar radiation even on cooler days.
