History
Agafay is a non-sandy, rocky desert formed from ancient river deposits and has long served as grazing land and a seasonal meeting place for local communities near Marrakech.
Conservation
The ecosystem is fragile—avoid driving off marked tracks, take all litter with you, and support operators who follow low-impact site-use practices.
