Johor is the
southern most state of Peninsular Malaysia, with a long
coastline flanked by the Straits of Melaka on its west and
the South China Sea on the east. Johor Bharu, the state
capital, sits at the southern tip.
Its vast landscape is characterised by plantations of
pineapple, rubber, coconut and palm oil, punctuated by
spectacular national parks, quaint fishing villages, and
5-star sea-side resorts.
Retaining much of its natural splendors, the state has miles
of golden sandy beaches, and beautiful offshore islands with
clear waters which are excellent for diving, snorkeling and
deep-sea fishing. The state is also endowed with several
internationally-acclaimed forest reserves. Nature lovers
will find the Endau-Rompin National Park located on the
Johor-Pahang border, an unforgettable experience.
This lush, virgin lowland dipterocarp forest is home to
several rare and endangered species, including the
two-horned Sumatran rhinoceros. Johor also has some of the
best golf courses and luxury resorts in the country.
