OVERVIEW

Gain an understanding of Brunei’s cultural heritage by visiting an array of remarkably diverse marquee attractions. For a glimpse into Brunei’s flourishing sea trade centuries ago, you will browse the Maritime Museum. Similarly, a stop at the waterfront market Tamu Kianggeh will present a look at how the Brunei River facilitates trade today as much of the traditional merchandise arrives by boat. Board the boat to water village, the world’s largest settlement on stilts, opportunity of stopping at one of the houses for a cup of tea. Every single building – mosques, houses and stores – hangs over the river. In contrast, you will peruse the luxurious artifacts displayed in the Royal Regalia, a museum full of items from the sultan and Brunei’s royalty. Photos stops at the Prime Minister’s office and at the iconic Jame Mosque, which is featured on Brunei’s currency, will round out your exploration.
