Feni is a major city in southeastern Bangladesh, located in Feni sub-district, about 160 kilometers from the capital city of Dhaka. The city is known for its agriculture and trade, with rice, jute and tea being produced around it, making it an important regional economic center. Located on the border between the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the plains, Feni has a hot and humid climate with high annual precipitation, making it suitable for agriculture.
Feeney was historically influenced by the Mughal Empire and British colonization, leaving traces of multiculturalism. The local population is predominantly Bengali, with Islam as the main religion, and festivals such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are highly valued. The culture of traditional handicrafts and bazaars is rich, reflecting the vibrancy of Bengali village life.
The economy is dominated by agriculture, supplemented by jute processing and small and medium industries. Feni is connected to major cities such as Dhaka and Chittagong by road and rail, and is one of the logistic hubs in southeastern Bangladesh. In recent years, the government is promoting infrastructure development to boost tourism and investment.
Feeney is surrounded by hills, tea gardens and river landscapes suitable for eco-tourism. Famous attractions include the Feni Reservoir and the neighboring Ramgarh Hills, which attract trekking enthusiasts. The city is not a popular tourist destination but is characterized by its serene countryside and simple folk.
