The province is located at the northwest of Sumatra Island and surrounded by some small islands, namely Weh, Keureuse, Simeuleu, Deudeup, Breuh and Rondo Islands. Banda Aceh is capital of the province.

With total area of 55,392 sq km, topography of this province is divided into lowland along the coastline and highland stretches from north to south at central range. Leuseur Mountain (4,366 m) is the highest peak about 4,366 m above the sea level. There are some islands spread out around the region and some of it still uninhabited.

As one of the richest provinces in Indonesia with its fertile lands, many agricultural crops is produced here, i.e. tobacco, oil palm, and coffee. The main industrial commodities of this province are petroleum and LNG. Small islands surrounded by beautiful corals that spread in this region are appealing for tourism industry.
