Lhokseumawe, Coastal city in Aceh, Indonesia.
Lhokseumawe extends over 181 square kilometers along the northern coast of Sumatra, divided into four distinct administrative districts: Banda Sakti, Blang Mangat, Muara Dua, and Muara Satu.
The area formed part of the Samudera Pasai kingdom in the 13th century before falling under the Sultanate of Aceh's control in 1511, developing into a maritime trade center.
The name originates from Acehnese words 'lhok' meaning deep bay and 'seumawe' referring to water movements, reflecting the maritime heritage of this Muslim-majority city.
Malikus Saleh Airport and Kruengeukeuh Seaport connect the city to other regions, while Becak Motor vehicles provide local transportation throughout the urban area.
The city receives steady rainfall throughout the year, accumulating 1,531 millimeters annually, with January recording the highest precipitation levels in the region.
