Welcome to Johor

Johor is Peninsular Malaysia's southernmost state and is linked to Singapore by a causeway and a bridge. The state capital Johor Bahru, is home to world-renowned golf courses and shopping establishments. JB, as it is more popularly known is famous for its historical buildings and impressive architecture.

Johor's vast landscape is characterised by plantations of pineapple, rubber, coconut and oil palm on the fringes of which nestle tranquil kampungs and quaint fishing villages. Retaining much of its natural splendours, the state has miles of golden sandy beaches and beautiful offshore islands as well as lush dipterocarp forests.

There is accommodation here to suit all budgets. For a different experience join a homestay programme and live in a traditional village. There are many street stalls, food courts, fast food outlets and fine dining restaurants to choose from in Johor offering both local and international style cuisine.
