The sun slides toward the Atlas, painting the Agafay’s stony plains in warm ochre as camels step like slow metronomes across the rolling, rocky expanse. You arrive from Marrakech in an air-conditioned transfer, and within an hour the city’s bustle is a distant hum—replaced by wind that smooths the day’s heat and the low, layered silhouettes of the surrounding hills.

History
Agafay is a rocky plateau south-west of Marrakech—a semi-arid transition zone historically used for grazing and as a stop along regional routes rather than a true sand desert.
Conservation
Water is scarce and vegetation sparse; follow camp guidelines, avoid off-trail driving, and support local cooperatives to help distribute tourism income responsibly.

Hydrate before and during
Bring a refillable water bottle and drink steadily—stony desert terrain and evening winds accelerate dehydration even when temperatures drop.
Layer for temperature swings
Pack a warm mid-layer and a windproof jacket; nights can dip sharply after sunset despite hot afternoons.
Wear sturdy, closed shoes
Camp grounds are gravelly and uneven; closed-toe shoes reduce the risk of stubs and provide better footing for camel mounting.
Bring cash for cooperatives
Small argan cooperatives and artisans often accept cash only—carry Moroccan dirhams in small bills for souvenirs or tips.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Protects feet from rocky terrain and makes mounting camels easier.
Layered clothing (fleece + wind shell)
Keeps you warm after sunset when desert temperatures drop.
fall
Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, SPF)

Refillable water bottle
