History
Agafay is a stony reg formed by erosion from the High Atlas; historically it supported seasonal herding and trade routes linking Marrakech to mountain communities.
Conservation
The fragile desert soil recovers slowly from disturbance—stay on designated tracks, avoid littering, and support local cooperatives to ensure economic benefits remain in the community.
