Bima

Tucked along Bima Bay on the eastern coast of Sumbawa, Bima is a place whose character is shaped by a sheltered inlet facing the Flores Sea. The city is a regional centre and port in an island region marked by a pronounced dry season and volcanic terrain. The former Sultanate of Bima remains central to local identity; Asi Mbojo, the sultan’s former palace, holds collections connected with the court and Mbojo heritage. Bima is also known in Indonesia for woven songket textiles, whose intricate motifs and ceremonial role keep a longstanding craft tradition present in daily community life.
