Before the 2015 territorial reform, Liurai had an area of ​​18.97 km². Now there are 18.64 km². The Suco is located north of the Turiscai administrative office. To the northeast is the Suco Lessuata , southeast of the Suco Matorec , south of the Suco Beremana , west of the Suco Manumera and northwest of the Suco Caimauc . In the north, Liurai borders on the administrative office of Lequidoe, which belongs to the municipality of Aileu, with its Suco Faturilau . The Manotana River rises in the southeast of Liurai and becomes Haru on the border with Lessuata . In the west rises the Manorana , which flows across the Suco and flows into the Haru. The Haru eventually flows into the Lana , the northern border river of Liurai. The rivers are part of the Northern Laclós system . A source river of the Caraulun flows along part of the southern border with Beremana .

There are no major roads connecting the Suco with the outside world. For example, for the parliamentary elections in East Timor in 2007, the ballot boxes had to be brought to the polling station in the Sucos seat by helicopter and then picked up again. In the south lie the villages of Turiscai Lau ( Turiscailau , Turiscalai ), Fohonaru ( Fohonaro ), Bilimano ( Binimalo ) and Marcoluli ( Markoluli , Morcoluli ). In the east are the places Fanolelo ( Fanulelo ) and Titilauai ( Titilawai , Tetilawai , Telilawal ). There is a primary school in Marcoluli.

In the Suco there are the six Aldeias Bilimano , Fanolelo , Fohonaru , Marcoluli , Titilauai and Turiscai Lau .
