Ulèë Lheuë

Ulèë Lheuë is an area in Meuraxa sub-district, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. It was the former main seaport of Aceh. Ulèë Lheuë is made of two words. Ulèë means "head" and lheuë means little peninsula. Ulèë Lheuë is indeed a coastal town sitting on the tip of Sumatra Island.

This town was most popular during the reign of Aceh Sultanate as a busy international seaport for spice trading.

It was flattened by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.^[1]

The area was reconstructed in 2005. A new ferry terminal has been built, funded by the Australian Government (implemented by UNDP).^[2]^[3] ^[4]
