Ouzoud Falls (Amazigh: Imuzzar n wuẓuḍ, French: Cascades d'Ouzoud) is the collective name for several waterfalls in the province of Azilal in Morocco. The waterfalls empty into the El-Abid River's (Arabic for "Slaves' River") gorge. A popular tourism destination, they are located 36 km from the town of Azilal and 150 km from Marrakesh.[1] 'Ouzoud' means "the act of grinding grain" in Berber. [citation needed]
