Nearby localities include Qamhana to the east, Shihat Hama to the southeast, Kafr al-Tun to the southwest, al-Majdal to the west, Mhardeh and Halfaya to the northwest and Taybat al-Imam to the northeast. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, Khitab had a population of 10,830 in the 2004 census.[1] Its inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims.[2]
In late 1829, during the Ottoman era, Khitab was part of the Sanjak (District) of Hama.
