Honest notesBefore you ask
Good to know
- Agafay is rocky desert, not sand dunes. For the Sahara dunes, plan two nights or more at Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga.
- Activities (camel, quad, buggy) and the camp are confirmed in your quote, with their safety briefings.
Make it yoursAdd-ons
Change anything
Turn the day into more: an add-on in the evening, a private guide, or a night away so you are not rushed back.
