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.

We climb down the stairways where you can get to the bottom down the river. The view is amazing from above and even from below. You also have a glance look at the small old mosque and then climb up on a winding trail to explore the hotel rooms that were built by French.

  • Like hiking into an Indiana Jones film

    The pictures really don't do it justice. The Ghoufi Balconies are absolutely stunning, and the hike down into the valley and up to the ruined hotel on the other side was quite exhilarating, while the abandoned village build into the cliffs was like something from a classic adventure movie. Our driver and guide Nadjib was a delight and patiently helped us to improve our awful French and Arabic, as well as introducing us to the highlights and the history of this extraordinary place.

  • Great canyon and abandoned Berber town in Eastern Algeria

    - Review from Viator

    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.
