Bloudan (Arabic: بلودان, romanized: Blūdān) is a Syrian village located 51 kilometers north-west of Damascus, in the Rif Dimashq Governorate; it has an altitude of about 1500 meters. In the 2004 census by the Central Bureau of Statistics it had a population of 3,101.[1] The majority of the inhabitants are Greek Orthodox Christians, and a significant minority are Sunni Muslims and Protestants.[2]
Bloudan is situated on top of a hill that overlooks the Al-Zabadani plain and is surrounded by mountain forests. Its moderate temperature and low humidity in summer attracts visitors from Damascus and throughout Syria; as a tourist destination, it is visited by thousands every year, mainly Arabs from Lebanon and the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. In winter, Bloudan is usually snowy and draws skiers.[3] Bloudan has restaurants and hotels, including the Great Bloudan Hotel.[citation needed]
