BRUNEI-GREEN JEWEL


Brunei Darussalam is a peaceful and an Islamic Sultanate, the country is still covered in dense vegetation, but with its mineral resources of oil and gas Brunei has become one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Brunei Darussalam has lost none of its traditions and is proud of its culture and heritage. Their heritage is rooted in the way they follow the principles of Malay Muslim Monarchy. The Malay Muslim Monarchy is an idealogy on which are founded all the basic values of Bruneians such as their religion, family, respect of the law and their way of life.

Brunei has become the attraction of tourist because of their unique culture and traditions. Such example is weaving which is an ancient craft in Brunei Darussalam, which has always been done by women in the old days.
