Ghoufi Canyon is an old historical and archaeological site located 90 km south of Batna. Composed of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. On the banks of the river called Abiod also known as Ighzir Amellal, is an oasis with palm groves, orchards and vegetable gardens.
The troglodyte homes or domesticated cave dwellings of the Ghoufi's balconies offer a history as rich as the region itself, they are scraped into a cliff and stacked like irregular sugar cubes. Their construction dates back nearly four centuries and presents an urban plan modeled on villages on each balcony in the form of buildings. You can also see hotel’s guest rooms that are in a honeycomb of cliff caves built by the French.
This tour will tell you the full potential of the Guffy Canyon.

Ghoufi is a really amazing place and landscape all together. Hakim, the guide, and Haroune, the driver, were really good travel mates. Very kind and chill, and informative at times! The drive is a little long (around 4 hours to get there from Constantine), but the tour was very flexible for the most part (with a couple of short stops). It is one of the best tours and daytrips one can do in the eastern Algeria and Constantine. I totally recommend.

Le site de Ghoufi est magnifique. La visite est très agréable, on peut visiter à pied une partie du canyon et monter sur certaines façades pour avoir une belle vue. Je recommande si vous souhaitez voir de beaux paysages. Il y a également quelques commerçants à l'entrée du site si vous souhaitez acheter des souvenirs issus de l'artisanat local. Le conducteur, Nabil, qui m'a accompagné, a été très sympathique, faisant le nécessaire pour que je sois très à l'aise du début à la fin de la journée, et m'a montré de nombreux endroits différents au cours de notre marche dans le canyon pour prendre des photos.
