Sous River

The Sous River, also known as the Sus River or the Souss River, is a river in mid-southern Morocco's Sous region- an area in mid-southern Morocco. Sous River is the ninth longest river in Morocco.

Sous River flows west from the High Atlas, passing through Aoulouz, Taroudannt, Oulad Teima, Inezgane, and At Melloul. It forms a basin that is protected from the Sahara's desert climate by the Anti-Atlas mountains and is one of Morocco's most fertile regions. The Anti-Atlas, also known as the Lesser Atlas or Little Atlas, is a mountain range in Morocco that is part of the Atlas Mountains in Africa's northwest. The Anti-Atlas stretches 500 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean in the southwest to the northeast, to the heights of Ouarzazate and further east to the city of Tafilalt. To the south, the range is bordered by the Sahara Desert. The main dam on the Sous River is the Aoulouz Dam.
