Course

The Oued Zouzfana originates in the Atlas Mountains north of the town of Figuig, flows south past Figuig and Béni Ounif, then turns southwest through Taghit and finally to Igli, where it merges with the Oued Guir to form the Oued Saoura.[3] Oued Zouzfana passes by jbel Sidi Youssef which is located to the south of Figuig. The inhabitants of Figuig still cultivate date palms. Sometimes there are floods of this river. This phenomenon, if we may call it that; Mainly because the Oued Zouzfana is not always carrying water with large quantities, occurs even when there is no rain in the region, since the cause of the flood is far from Figuig and near East side of the Atlas mountains range.
