Things to do in Brunei International Airport
Brunei International Airport serves Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of the oil-rich Sultanate of Brunei — a small kingdom of deep rainforest, extraordinary mosques, and a Malay-Islamic monarchy. The Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, one of the most beautiful in Southeast Asia with its marble dome and artificial lagoon, and the Jame Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque with its 29 golden domes are the city's iconic landmarks. Kampong Ayer, the world's largest stilt-house settlement with 10,000 residents, is accessible by water taxi from the waterfront.
