Brunei, officially known as Negara Brunei Darussalam - "abode of peace" in Arabic, is a picturesque seaside nation seeped in a rich historical tapestry. It is the only sovereign state completely encompassing Borneo, with the rest of the island being shared by Malaysia and Indonesia. Over time, Brunei has transformed into an industrial powerhouse due to its plentiful petroleum and natural gas fields, positioning the country among the world's wealthiest.

Brunei's rulers, known as the Sultans, have upheld a unique combination of English common law, Sharia law, and Islamic practices, shaping the nation as it is today. Influences from diverse cultures, religions, and era-defining events have left their impact on Brunei, creating a thrilling destination for history enthusiasts and explorers alike.

Today, Brunei flourishes under the rule of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, who has been leading the nation since 1967. This presents a wonderful opportunity for travellers to experience life in one of the few remaining absolute monarchies in the world.
