Oued Ksob is the estuary of the Ksob River, located just south of Essaouira. It forms a rich wetland habitat where freshwater meets the Atlantic, attracting a wide variety of bird species, including flamingos, herons, and migratory waders. The area features sand dunes, salt flats, and a long beach. Visitors can stroll along the riverbanks, observe birds from discreet viewpoints, or simply enjoy the natural tranquility. It's a favorite spot for nature lovers and photographers seeking a break from the medina's bustle.
Don't miss
- Spot flamingos and other waterfowl in the estuary's shallow waters.
- Walk the sandy path along the river to the beach for ocean views.
- Visit the nearby ruins of the Portuguese fortress (Bordj el Berod) for a panoramic perspective.
