This tiny oil-rich Islamic sultanate on the northwest coast of Borneo is known
chiefly for the astounding wealth of its sultan, its tax-free, subsidized
society, and the fact that (statistically at least) its population enjoy one of
the highest per capita incomes on earth.
Bandar Seri Begawan
Vibrant, yet peaceful. Both modern and timeless. A fusion of majestic opulence
and traditional respect.
Bandar Seri Begawan is the centre of Brunei’s commerce, finance and government.
In many ways, it is also the heart of Brunei’s cultural landscape, housing some
of the nation’s most revered landmarks. The city’s breathtaking Sultan Omar Ali
Saifuddien Mosque is a stunning tribute to the nation’s deep-rooted faith, while
the truly Bruneian Kampong Ayer water village offers a glimpse of the nation’s
quaint Asian charm.
Beneath Bandar Seri Begawan’s lavish adornments, gold towers, sparkling
fountains and colourful mosaic tiles, lies a city steeped in quiet respect,
grounded in Islamic tradition, and exuding a sense of peace that makes it one of
Asia’s most distinctive capital cities.
