Brunei is a small Muslim coastal country just 443km north of the equator in the northwest corner of Borneo, bounded on all landward sides by Sarawak (Malaysia), which splits Brunei into two parts. The country has some beautiful beaches and rainforests that are definitely worth seeing. Brunei’s economy depends on its oil and natural gas deposits, which are mostly offshore, and its investments. Although these are not extensive by world standards, Brunei’s small population enjoys a very high standard of living. It’s a beautiful country to visit, but please keep in mind as it’s a Muslim country alcohol is not permitted, but you can bring your duty free alcohol into the country and drink it at your hotel.
