When the city’s dust settles behind you and the road opens to pale stone and low scrub, the Agafay Desert arrives with a wind that seems to push you forward. Drivers hand over the wheel or share the throttle as buggies leap across a landscape of hard-packed terraces, occasional sand pockets and jagged outcrops with the Atlas Mountains stitched along the horizon.

History
The Agafay region is a stony desert on the outskirts of Marrakech where traditional Berber communities have long used dry valleys and wells; the landscape records seasonal water flows rather than vast dunes.
Conservation
Stick to established tracks, avoid off-trail driving, and carry out all waste; the compacted desert soil and sparse vegetation recover slowly from disturbance.
