Brunei in Brief

Brunei Darussalam (Brunei, Abode of Peace) is a small, peaceful, prosperous, oil rich kingdom located on the northern shore of the ecologically rich island of Borneo.

 

Modern and distinctly Asian, Brunei maintains quiet, contemplative respect for tradition, reflected in its noble Islamic Architecture, hospitable people and reference for six-centuries old monarchy.

 

The total land area of the country is just over 5,765 square kilometers, making the Sultanate one of the smallest sovereign nations in the world with a population of 372,000. Bruneians are predominantly Malay, but English is widely spoken by most of the population.

 

More than two-thirds of Brunei’s land area is covered by pristine rainforest, which is home to many varieties of flora and fauna that can only be found on the island of Borneo.

 

Brunei’s climate is generally humid with temperate equatorial climate year round.
