The geography of the region is marked by three things ; A thin coastal plain, hills, which lies behind and act as a natural barrier against winds carrying sand from the desert located in Aquaria, and a river, Oued Hamma. Most of the city is located on the coastal plain, with an exception for the Casbah and the Martyrs district, established on a hill which directly faces the sea. 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. The mean elevation is of 16 meters, with the lowest point being the port of Dar Al Hamma at sea level and the highest area being the Mansur Hill, culminating at 185 meters above sea level.
