In the 2004 census by the Central Bureau of Statistics it had a population of 3,101.[2] The majority of the inhabitants are Greek Orthodox Christians, and a significant minority are Sunni Muslims and Protestants.[3] 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 many visitors from Damascus and throughout Syria; as a major 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 many skiers.[4] Bloudan has many restaurants and hotels, of which the most famous is the Great Bloudan Hotel which hosted the first pan-Arab Bloudan Conference to discuss the Palestinian issue in 1937. Bloudan is also famous for its many parks and springs, such as the Abuzad, Qas'a, and Hazir springs. ClimateBloudan has a relatively cool-summer Mediterranean type of climate [Csb] with a mean year average less than 11 degrees Celsius and abundant annual precipitation [both in the form of snow and rain] averaging 690 mm. Being about 1000 metres higher than the city centre of Damascus means that Bloudan and other settlements in its vicinity are sought-after by those who want to escape the arid and hot climate of the capital city. Summers in Bloudan are long, dry, and cool while the winter season is three months long with heavy rain and snow. {{Weather box|width = auto |location = Bloudan |metric first = Yes |single line = Yes |Jan high C = 6.1 |Feb high C = 6.6 |Mar high C = 10.1 |Apr high C = 14.0 |May high C = 18.9 |Jun high C = 22.7 |Jul high C = 24.9 |Aug high C = 25.3 |Sep high C = 24.1 |Oct high C = 19.2 |Nov high C = 13.2 |Dec high C = 6.9 |Jan mean C = 2.1 |Feb mean C = 2.6 |Mar mean C = 5.4 |Apr mean C = 9.1 |May mean C = 13.2 |Jun mean C = 17.0 |Jul mean C = 19.0 |Aug mean C = 19.5 |Sep mean C = 17.7 |Oct mean C = 13.5 |Nov mean C = 8.8 |Dec mean C = 3.4 |Jan low C = -1.8 |Feb low C = -1.4 |Mar low C = 0.8 |Apr low C = 4.3 |May low C = 7.5 |Jun low C = 11.4 |Jul low C = 13.1 |Aug low C = 13.7 |Sep low C = 11.4 |Oct low C = 7.9 |Nov low C = 4.4 |Dec low C = 0.0 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 146 |Feb precipitation mm = 118 |Mar precipitation mm = 99 |Apr precipitation mm = 44 |May precipitation mm = 23 |Jun precipitation mm = 0 |Jul precipitation mm = 0 |Aug precipitation mm = 0 |Sep precipitation mm = 2 |Oct precipitation mm = 27 |Nov precipitation mm = 68 |Dec precipitation mm = 129 |year precipitation mm = 656 |source = climate-data.org[5] }} EtymologyThe current name, Bloudan, is derived from the Aramaic name Bil-dan, which means the place of the god Bil or Ba'al. Bloudan is also called the land of almond, because its forests are dominated by almond trees. HistoryBloudan is a very ancient village whose history goes back to the Roman era, as is evident by the paintings and carvings found in southern Bloudan. Remains of an ancient Greek Orthodox monastery and the St. George church are also found in the mountains of eastern Bloudan. The historic St. Elias valley is an ancient part of the village, with buildings that are hundreds of years old. Modern Bloudan, constructed of rendered concrete, has largely replaced the Greek Orthodox and Catholic village built in the 18th and 19th centuries and continues to grow today.[6] References1. ^ 2. ^1 [https://archive.is/20130113012020/http://www.cbssyr.org/new%20web%20site/General_census/census_2004/NH/TAB03-26-2004.htm General Census of Population and Housing 2004].
