The Agafay Desert is often considered an alternative to the Sahara Desert because it can be explored in just one day. However, you need a minimum of three days to explore the Sahara. Additionally, the Agafay Desert is less sandy than the Sahara. Instead, it is rockier and more barren. However, you may find white sand dunes-like hills which remind you of the Sahara Desert.
