The gilded mosques symbolize luxury and prosperity; the tranquility and serenity of the evenings; the neatness, order, and slow, unhurried pace of life make this country quite unique and arouse much curiosity among tourists from all over the world.
VYC Travel, in collaboration with Royal Brunei Airlines, is pleased to introduce a unique and exciting Brunei – Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia) combined tour program, promising to be a favorite destination for Vietnamese tourists in the near future.
The tour program includes typical Brunei landmarks such as: the Malay Museum, which showcases Brunei's culture before it became a wealthy and modern kingdom thanks to the discovery of oil; the opulent and sophisticated mosques decorated with expensive interior and exterior materials such as marble, crystal, Arabian carpets, and even gold leaf, such as the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque – representing the Kingdom's prosperity; and the Jame Assr Mosque – one of the largest and most magnificent mosques in the world.
In particular, visitors can also see the Istana Nurul Iman Palace – meaning “Palace of the Light of the Saints”. This is the most magnificent and largest royal palace in the world, with a total construction cost of $1.4 billion, designed in a distinctive Islamic architectural style with 1,788 rooms, 110 underground parking garages, and a collection of over 500 expensive cars.
During their exploration of Brunei, tourists cannot miss Kampong Ayer, the world's largest floating village with over 600 years of cultural and historical significance. It is the clearest manifestation of Brunei's riverine culture, with over 30,000 residents living in houses built on the water that may look dilapidated but are equipped with modern amenities.
From Brunei, travelers can take connecting flights to Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia to immerse themselves in nature at the Klias mangrove forest – famous for its Proboscis monkeys – and explore the diverse flora and fauna characteristic of the mangrove ecosystem.
In addition, visitors can also explore architectural landmarks on the island such as the Sabah Foundation, City Mosque, and University Mosque. The most distinctive feature of Kota Kinabalu is Mamutek Island – a peaceful island with abundant coral reefs and diverse wildlife. Here, visitors can enjoy exciting water sports such as scuba diving and snorkeling, and indulge in delicious seafood.
The 5-day, 4-night Brunei – Kota Kinabalu tour organized by VYC Travel is priced at only 19,500,000 VND and departs every Friday.
