A visit to Bandar Seri Begawan must start with the monuments. Several are included, such as the mosque of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien. Its architecture, with its marble minarets and golden domes, is splendid. Anyone can enter outside of prayer hours. Otherwise, the exterior of the mosque is just as beautiful. Indeed, tourists will be able to enjoy the lush gardens, especially since there is a little pond there.
Those who want to visit another mosque can go to Jame'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah. It is the largest in Brunei and highlights modern Islamic architecture. The enlightenment is placed on the 29 golden domes, which represent the 29th year of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's reign. Like the previous mosque, visitors can tour inside and spend time in the lush gardens.
Another exciting stop at Bandar Seri Begawan is the Royal Regalia Museum. It is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the history and culture of the Brunei monarchy. The museum houses a collection of insignia used during the reign of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and exhibitions or workshops are regularly held there.
After a deep dive into the area's history and discovering fascinating artifacts and beautiful monuments, holidaymakers can try a fun attraction: Kampong Ayer. This historic water village is surprising because its many structures, including houses and schools, are all built on stilts. A visit to Kampong Ayer is necessary to learn more about the unique lifestyle of the locals.
In a different style, there is the playground by Jerudong, which highlights a range of attractions for all ages. Between thrilling rides, a water park, and beautifully landscaped gardens, everything is available to have a great time with family or friends. ◄
