Brunei Guide
Explore Brunei!
Just got back from Brunei having been pretty impressed by what it can offer as a Halal Friendly destination. Alcohol free environment, easy availability of Halal food, peaceful with rich Islamic traditions and unspoiled nature with 70% of Brunei covered by primary rainforest.
If you are looking beyond shopping, theme parks and overcrowded cities for your next holiday and would like spend your time enjoying a city with rich Islamic heritage, one of a kind water village, rainforests, unspoiled coral reefs, mangrove-covered islands and many other ecotourism options, Brunei is indeed the place to go.
