Affiliate disclosure: how agafay.info earns

This affiliate disclosure covers every partner link on agafay.info. When you book through one, the partner pays the guide a commission: GetYourGuide, Viator and Klook for tours, Stay22 for Booking.com and other stays, and Kiwitaxi through Travelpayouts for transfers. The partner sets the price; the guide adds no fee. No tour operator, camp or hotel pays the guide anything directly.

The path of a partner link

Every partner link on the guide starts with agafay.info/go/ and the product's short name. That address is a redirect: it sends you on to the partner's product page with the guide's partner id attached, so the partner knows the booking came from here.

The path of a partner link, and who pays whom Top row, the click: a page on agafay.info, then agafay.info/go/, which adds the guide's partner id and a tag naming the page and counts the click, then the partner's page, where you book and pay the listed price. Bottom row, the money: the partner pays the operator, and pays agafay.info a commission, drawn as a dashed line back to the first column. 1 A page on agafay.info You click a product name 2 agafay.info/go/ adds the partner id and the page tag counts the click, sets no cookie 3 The partner's page You book and pay the partner's listed price The operator is paid by the partner agafay.info is paid a commission commission, from the partner's side The path of a partner link, and who pays whom Down the page: a page on agafay.info; agafay.info/go/, which adds the partner id and the page tag and counts the click; the partner's page, where you book and pay the listed price. Below, the partner pays the operator, and a dashed line carries a commission back up to agafay.info. 1 A page on agafay.info You click a product name 2 agafay.info/go/ adds the partner id and page tag counts the click, sets no cookie 3 The partner's page You book and pay its listed price The operator is paid by the partner agafay.info is paid a commission
Steps 1 to 3 are what you see. The money moves only after a booking, and only from the partner's side: the partner sets what you pay.

The tag names the page the click came from: agafayinfo-agafay-tours is the tag for a click from the tours page, and each page has its own. It lets the guide see which pages lead to bookings and carries nothing about you.

Does the commission decide what you are shown?

Each page is built around one question a visitor has, such as how long the drive is, which camp suits a winter night or whether a quad tour fits a sunset, and the products on it are the ones that answer it. Prices print as the partner lists them, with the date of the price, whether or not a product pays the guide well.

The free tools, such as the sunset finder on Agafay desert sunset, carry no partner links at all, and the downloads on the data page hold only the guide's own figures, with no partner listings in them.

What a partner link does not do

It does not set a cookie from agafay.info, and it does not pass on your name, email or anything else about you. The redirect counts the click (the product, the page and the country) and nothing more; the privacy page lists exactly what it records.

Once you are on the partner's site, its own terms and privacy policy apply, including how it records that you came from this guide. Your booking, payment and any refund are between you and the partner; the contact page says where to write about what.
