The river is 496 kilometers long and has an average water flow of 137 m3/s, which makes it the 2nd largest North African river by volume. It passes near Fes, and discharges to the Atlantic Ocean at Mehdya. Sebou is navigable for only 16 km as far as the city of Kenitra, which has the only river port in Morocco.
