Its administrative center is the city of Saky, which is not a part of the district. Population: 76,489 (2014 Census).
The district includes the urban-type settlement of Novofedorivka.
2020 Ukrainian administrative reform
In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea, which has been occupied by Russia since 2014. Crimea was reorganized from 14 raions and 11 municipalities into 10 raions, with municipalities abolished altogether. Saky Raion was abolished, with its territories to become a part of Yevpatoria Raion, but this has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation.
Demographics
As of the 2001 Ukrainian census, the raion had a population of 80,964. Russians account for a little less than half the population, while Ukrainians make up a bit more than 30% of the population, followed by Crimean Tatars and Belarusians.
