A wind-leaned plain opens as the city falls behind: the Agafay’s stony ground stretches low and wide, pale gravel catching the late light while the High Atlas silhouettes hold the horizon. On this afternoon tour you trade Marrakech’s alleys for a sequence of motions—camel sway, quad rumble, and the slow easing of sunlight until the sky burns orange over the plateau.

History
The Agafay is a stony desert on the southern rim of the Marrakech plain; it has long been a transitional zone used by Berber communities for grazing and local trade rather than the sandy dunes of the Sahara.
Conservation
Choose tours that support local cooperatives and avoid single-use plastics; stay on established tracks to limit vegetation and soil disturbance in this fragile dryland.
