According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Yabroud had a population of 25,891 in the 2004 census.〔(General Census of Population and Housing 2004 ).

Rif Dimashq Governorate. 〕 The city is known for its ancient caves, most notably the Iskafta cave (where, in 1930, a thirty-year-old German traveller and self-taught archeologist Alfred Rust made many important pre-historical findings), and the Yabroud temple, which was once ''Jupiter Yabroudis'' 's temple but later became "''Konstantin and Helena Cathedral''". Yabroud is home of the oldest church in Syria.〔(Syria: An attempt to live a normal life )〕 The name ''Yabroud'' is said to have originated from an Aramaic word meaning "cold"; the city rests upon the Qalamun Mountains slopes (Anti-Lebanon) at a height of 1,550m.
