History
Agafay is a rocky, pre-Saharan plateau historically used for grazing and local trade routes; it’s geologically distinct from the sandy Sahara and shaped by alluvial and volcanic deposits.
Conservation
Water is scarce and camps rely on deliveries—minimize waste and avoid single-use plastics. Choose operators who hire local staff and follow low-impact camp practices.
