Brunei is a small sultanate on the northern coast of Borneo, a nation that gained its wealth from oil reserves and has preserved its Malay Islamic culture. The capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, blends modern mosques with traditional water villages, while the interior remains largely covered in rainforest. Visitors will find gilded domes next to stilt houses, royal collections next to local markets, and tropical trails at the edges of the city. Places to see include the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque with its man-made lagoon, the sprawling Kampong Ayer with its wooden walkways over the water, and Ulu Temburong National Park, accessible only by boat and through dense jungle. The Royal Regalia Museum displays crowns and ceremonial chariots of the Sultan's family. Gadong Night Market serves local food at open stalls in the evening. Beaches like Serasa lie quietly along the coast, and temples such as Teng Yun Temple add to the religiously diverse cityscape.
