Start your tour with a scenic drive through its capital, Kota Kinabalu City. The city, formerly known as "Singgahmata" or "the Place where the Eye Lingers", has risen from the destruction of the last world war to become a vibrant and modern city that still retains its traditional charms. See many places of interests in the city centre such as the Wisma Tun Mustapha (Sabah Foundation Building), University Malaysia Sabah, Sabah State and City Mosque and the Sabah Museum for the historical and cultural aspects of the indigenous people. Enjoy a brief stop along Signal Hill which provides a awesome bird's eye view of the city skyline and nearby islands and a chance to stop at a handicraft market. Duration: 3 hours tour from 0900hrs - 1200hrs or 1400hrs - 1500hrs Note: Sabah Museum is now open daily. |
