History
Agafay is a stony desert formed from eroded mountain material at the Atlas’s fringe; it has been a seasonal grazing and travel corridor for local Berber communities.
Conservation
Water is a scarce resource—the camps often rely on hauled water and local supply; minimize waste and support operators who hire locally and practice responsible water use.

Sun protection is essential
Bring broad-spectrum sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV sunglasses—shade is sparse on the rocky plain.
Wear sturdy shoes
The surface is compacted rock and loose scree in places—closed-toe hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers prevent slips.
Hydrate before and after pool time
The dry air can dehydrate you quickly; carry water and refill when possible at the camp.
