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:
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“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)
“Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
