Guide to Brunei?
Against a skyline dominated by the glittering Omar
Ali Saifuddin Mosque, the residents of the capital's Kampung Ayer
live among the centuries-old web of waterways woven out of the Brunei
River. In this sprawling collection of water villages, colourful
homes, schools, police stations, markets, mosques and even fire
stations stand on stilts in the water, while modern concrete blocks
rise from the banks not far away.
Nicknamed the 'Abode of Peace', the small oil-rich sultanate of
Brunei is a unique mix of traditional Islamic ways, showy modern
developments, wild jungle and tamed coastal areas. It also makes
for a restful and interesting stop if you're exploring Borneo, and
the vast island that Brunei shares with Malaysia and Indonesia.
In the northeast of the country, surrounded by rivers & canals,
you'll find the capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. On top of the jaw-dropping
extravagance of its mosques and some excellent museums, you can
also explore Kampung Ayer (water village), reputedly the world's
largest conglomerations of stilt houses. Navigated by a jigsaw of
wooden walkways, the colourful, interlinked villages stretch across
the banks of Sungai Brunei & Sungai Kedyan and provide a fascinating
glimpse into life on the water.
Within 10km from Bandar you'll also find good beaches, a large colony
of proboscis monkeys at Pulau Ranggu and free theme park delights
at Jerudong. Further afield, you can arrange a trip to the islands
of Brunei Bay, take a river safari up the Belait River to visit
forest dwellers, enjoy wildlife spotting at Tasek Berimbun (Brunei's
largest lake) or hike the jungle canopied walkways of the Ulu Temburong
National Park.
If you're too worn out by evening to paint the town red, don't feel
bad. Nightlife is pretty much non-existent - and the nearest place
offering alcohol is across the border in Malaysian Sarawak.
