History
Agafay has long been a transit and grazing zone used by local Amazigh (Berber) communities rather than a classic sandy Sahara; its proximity to Marrakech made it a traditional corridor between mountain and city.
Conservation
Travelers should avoid disturbing vegetation and pack out trash; local operators increasingly follow low-impact camp practices and support community-run services.
