Ouzoud Falls (Amazigh: ⵉⵎⵓⵣⵣⴰⵔ ⵏ ⵡⵓⵥⵓⴷ 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 kilometres (22 mi) from the town of Azilal and 150 kilometres (93 mi) from Marrakesh.[1] 'Ouzoud' means "the act of grinding grain" in Berber. [citation needed]
