Agafay is a stony desert used historically as grazing land and a caravan approach to Marrakech; its landscape differs from the Sahara, reflecting ancient erosion and alluvial deposits.
Conservation
The area is fragile—stick to established tracks to avoid vegetation loss and limit one-time use plastics; many camps emphasize low-impact lighting and local staffing.
