Geography
Town lands tend towards Asi River (Orontes River) Valley from the east. The town plateau relates with Masyaf plateau at the west, Muhardeh plateau at the north, and Harbenevsh basalt plateau at the south-west. The west and north plateaus composed of karst limestone rocks.
A town geography from the east and south is flatter than the north and west. From the beautiful hills in Kafr Buhum are Tel Veon which is located at the west of the town (2 km / 1.25 miles), Abi Salloum Plateau from the east and Almkens and Wadi al Khassalate, Kfraldos hills from the south.
The town has a Mediterranean climate, where winter is cold and rainy and summer is warm and dry. The climate is affected by the distance from the Mediterranean Sea, 80 km (50 mi) west, and by the coastal mountains barriers.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;—and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
