Johor, State administrative division in southern Malay Peninsula, Malaysia

Johor spans across the southern tip of peninsular Malaysia, encompassing multiple districts with Johor Bahru serving as its capital and main economic center.

The Johor Sultanate, established in 1528, developed substantial influence throughout the southern Malay Peninsula before becoming a British protectorate in the late 1800s.

The state celebrates numerous festivals throughout the year, reflecting traditions from Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous communities through dance, music, and food.

The Port of Tanjung Pelepas handles substantial maritime traffic, functioning as a primary logistics center that connects Malaysia with international shipping routes.

Mount Ledang, rising 1,276 meters above sea level, stands as the highest peak in Johor, surrounded by protected natural reserves and tropical rainforests.
