The river is located at The river originates in the Sahara Atlas at an altitude of about 1,400 meters and flows from west to east. It flows into the salt lake Melgir at an altitude of −40 meters below sea level, which is the lowest point in Algeria. ^[2] During the rainy season, the river helps to increase the water level in the lake, and in summer the lake and the mouth of the river dry out. ^{[3] [4]} The riverbed consists of gypsum and mud, it can reach several kilometers in width, but rarely is full-flowing. The soil along the banks of the river has a high concentration of salt, which is why something rarely grows here. ^[five]

The river flows near the cities of Laghouat (population about 125 thousand people) and Sidi-Khaled (about 40 thousand people). ^{[6] [1]}
