History
Agafay lies on the Atlas foothills’ rain shadow; its sculpted stone plains were carved by ancient rivers and wind rather than the Saharan dunes often associated with Morocco.
Conservation
Tour operators are increasingly limiting vehicle tracks and returning quad routes to established paths; visitors should avoid littering and respect private grazing areas.
