History
Agafay is a stony plateau at the foothills of the High Atlas; historically used by Amazigh communities for grazing and trade routes rather than as a caravan dune sea.
Conservation
Water is scarce—use pool facilities considerately and avoid off-road driving outside permitted routes to protect fragile soil and vegetation.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The pool and surrounding rocks offer little shade; use high-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after swimming.
Wear closed shoes for optional quads
If you plan to add a quad tour, wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and long shorts or lightweight pants for protection.
Hydrate before and after travel
Desert air is dry and the drive can be warm—carry a refillable bottle and sip regularly.
