If in China known as the Bamboo Curtain country, the Veranda of Mecca is firmly attached nicknames to Aceh. Not because they have a miniature city of Mecca or no fake Ka’ba here. So, why Aceh can get this name? And obviously, the location of Aceh and Mecca was far really. Aceh and Mecca was not brotherhood.

So, where did the nickname come from?

Sunny day, we were planning to go to the island opposite the beach Iboih, Rubiah name. Before continuing the story of the nickname Veranda of Mecca, I let you know a little bit about the history behind the name Rubiah Island.

According to legend, there was a couple who lived peacefully on the island of Weh. Her husband named Iboih, and his wife named Rubiah. They live in harmony on the island of Weh, until finally, Rubiah has a dog to keep her company. However, Mr. Iboih not agree if Mother Rubiah keep the dog. Then, there was the greatest moment that become the couple’s fight of the century. Pak Iboih who are already furious, then Mrs. Rubiah expel from her homes and exiling her to another island, later, the island will be called Pulau Rubiah.

That’s the origin of the name Rubiah Island and Coastal Iboih. End.So, what the correlation from the nicknamed the Veranda of Mecca with Rubiah Island? Let me tell you something. This is where the core of the story that I will lay out ..

On the island Rubiah the hajj hostel is the first in Indonesia. Why should Rubiah Island? Because the island is the closest distance to the country of Saudi Arabia.

In addition, there are also many islands Rubiah historical stories about Indonesia. Once, when the Dutch colonial period, the island Rubiah with small islands around it once in bombardment by bombs invaders to many places destroyed, like the castle, including homes and Rubiah mother’s grave.
