More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Sun heats the stony plains and a low wind pulls at the hem of your scarf as you arrive at a desert camp on the Agafay plateau. The camp’s pool glints against a landscape of weathered rock and compacted gravel—this is not the Saharan sand sea, but a rugged “reg” that rewards slower, sensory travel: the scrub smells sharp, the light is hard, and the horizon feels wide enough to breathe.
