Aceh

A distinctly Islamic province at the northern tip of Sumatra, with tsunami memorials and the dive destination of Weh Island.

Aceh lies at the northern tip of Sumatra. Its capital, Banda Aceh, is in the region with Indonesia's strongest Islamic tradition, where Sharia law is applied, so travelers should be mindful of dress and conduct. In Banda Aceh, the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque, the Tsunami Museum and the power-generating barge swept ashore record the history of the 2004 tsunami. Offshore, Weh Island (Sabang) is a diving and snorkeling destination. The south includes part of Gunung Leuser National Park, home to Sumatran orangutans. The main gateway is Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport in Banda Aceh.
