Brunei

A wealthy small country on the north coast of Borneo, where golden-domed mosques, water villages and pristine rainforest make for a distinctively tranquil trip.

Brunei lies on the northern part of the island of Borneo, surrounded by Malaysia's Sarawak state and split into two separate parts, east and west. It is a monarchy dominated by Islamic culture, rich in oil and natural gas, with a quiet, orderly society. The capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, has the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, the Jame'asr Hassanal Bolkiah Mosque and the water village of Kampong Ayer, while the eastern exclave of Temburong preserves large tracts of pristine rainforest. The climate is tropical rainforest, hot and humid year-round, with a relatively drier period from about February to April. The main gateway is Brunei International Airport, and you can also enter overland from Sabah and Sarawak.
