Geography
The geography of the region is marked by three things ; A thin coastal plain, hills, which lie behind and act as a natural barrier against winds carrying sand from the desert located in Aquaria, and a river, Oued Hamma.

With the districts of Dar Al Hamma occupying most of the plain, some facilities are located further out from the city because of the hills.
