Mindful meoweler tips

Respect the Dress Code

Cats, remember to dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Wear clothes that cover your paws, and a headscarf for female cats.

Try the Traditional Food

Acehnese cuisine is a unique blend of Indonesian, Indian, and Middle Eastern influences. Be sure to try the local dishes like nasi goreng Aceh and mie Aceh.

Visit the Tsunami Museum

The Tsunami Museum pays tribute to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that devastated Banda Aceh. It's a sobering but important reminder of the city's resilience.
