Siak, Administrative region in Riau, Indonesia

Siak regency encompasses 8,556 square kilometers of land in Sumatra, containing fourteen districts with a population of approximately 480,000 residents in 2023.

The territory belonged to the Sultanate of Siak Sri Indrapura until 1999, when it separated from Bengkalis Regency to form an independent administrative region.

The former Siak Sri Indrapura Palace functions as a museum, displaying the golden throne of past sultans and an antique Komet music box.

Access to Siak is available through river transportation from Pekanbaru Port, with boat services running every 4-5 days and journey times between 2-4 hours.

The Tengku Agung Sultanah Latifah Bridge, constructed in 2007, held the title of Indonesia's longest bridge until the completion of Suramadu Bridge.
