History
Agafay is a stony 'reg' rather than sand dunes; its landscape reflects millennia of erosion at the High Atlas foothills and long-standing use by Berber pastoral communities.
Conservation
This fragile arid environment has limited water—pack out all waste, stay on designated tracks to avoid erosion, and support local cooperatives to help community-based conservation.

Book sunset timing
Schedule the trip to arrive at least 90 minutes before sunset so you can ride in daylight and enjoy the changing light during dinner.

Drink water before the quad portion and leave celebratory drinks for after the ride to stay alert and safe.
Respect the cooperative
When visiting the argan cooperative, ask before photographing people and consider purchasing small items to support local women.
