[5] Ghoufi is included as part of the Parc des Aurès on UNESCO's Tentative List of World Heritage Sites.
[6][7] The Abiod River (Ighzir Amellal) has cut a long canyon across the region from Tifelfel to M'Chouneche of North Africa.
Situated along the national road, the village of Ghoufi is located in close proximity to the canyon, on the northern cliff, overlooking an oasis.
[8][7] The area possesses a distinct type of Berber architecture, characterised by the use of materials such as stone roughly polished and joined by a local mortar, in addition to the frequent presence of tree trunks and date palms.
This is typical of the oases among the nearby basalt mountains and sedimentary rocks, which create the unique landscape of the region.
