Oued Ksob is a river in western Morocco that discharges to the Atlantic Ocean on a broad beach slightly south of the city of Essaouira[1] and slightly north of the village of Diabat. The mouth of the river, along with the nearby Iles Purpuraires, is known for sightings of the rare species Eleonora's falcon.[2] To the south of the Ksob mouth is a ruined watchtower known as the Bordj El Berod.
