It is situated about 70 kilometres (43 mi) from the border with Sudan's western Darfur Region, and 1,200 km by road from N'Djamena, the Chadian capital. The town is served by Goz Beïda Airport.
Due to its proximity to Sudan, Goz Beïda holds a geographically strategic location, both for cross-border trade and as a transit point during regional crises, frequently receiving an influx of refugees from the neighboring country.
