Valley of Agabat
The landscape is a mix of limestone cliffs, sand dunes, and striking white chalk formations. These chalky structures, shaped over millions of years by wind and erosion, give the area a mystical and alien appearance. The valley has dramatic rock formations that seem to rise suddenly from the desert sands, with shapes that can resemble towering pillars, mushrooms, or other abstract forms. The white and yellow sands in the valley add layers of color, creating an ethereal look at different times of day, especially at sunrise and sunset. The Valley of Agabat is accessible by 4x4 vehicles, often as part of a desert safari tour.

Because the area is politically sensitive, with ongoing disputes over Western Sahara, access can be restricted or require specific arrangements with local guides.
