Brebes, Administrative district in Central Java, Indonesia

Brebes Regency spans 1,769 square kilometers across northwestern Central Java, encompassing seventeen districts from coastal areas in the north to mountainous regions in the south.

The region received its name during the Mataram Era from Javanese words 'Bara' and 'Basah', reflecting the water-rich characteristics of the territory at that time.

The local population maintains traditional performances including Sinok dance presentations, Banjarharjo ceremonies, and Kuda Lumping dance exhibitions throughout the districts.

Travelers reach Brebes through a 210-kilometer route from Semarang City, with multiple accommodation options including D'Rain Hotel, Kedaton Hotel, and Alexander Hotel.

The district produces substantial quantities of shallots and salted duck eggs, which form the foundation of regional specialties such as Sate Blengong and Peuyeum Ketan.
