Sabang, Port city in Aceh, Indonesia

Located on Weh Island off the northern tip of Sumatra, Sabang extends over 122 square kilometers and includes four smaller surrounding islands.

The natural harbor of Sabang opened to foreign ships in 1883 under Dutch East Indies administration and transformed into a free port by 1895.

The population of Sabang follows Islamic traditions, reflected in the implementation of Sharia law across the Aceh province since 2001.

Maimun Saleh Airport on Weh Island serves military purposes and accommodates ATR 72 aircraft, while the deep sea port handles regional maritime trade.

Sabang holds the distinction of being both the northernmost and westernmost city in Indonesia, positioned at the entrance of the Malacca Strait.
