The Ouzoud wadi ("ouzoud "meaning 'olive' in Berber language, reference to the olive groves of the area) precipitates to the bottom of a green pit, to join the canyon of the wadi el Abid, 2 km from there. The irrigation allows many cultures, in particular splendid olive groves.

An interesting walk (possible to last from 2 to 4 H) consists in descending the wadi downstream the cascades, by a succession of basins bordered of reeds, where you will be able to surprise martins-fishermen and

small falls of water.

Beyond the waterfalls, a track (21 km) for the Abid wadi, of so deep gorges (from 400 to 600 m). The track goes down in laces until the upstream of the gorges, crosses the wadi and continuous in a basin cultivated, through a landscape of olive groves.
