Sabah, located on the northern portion of Borneo, is the largest state in Malaysia. It shares land borders with the Malaysian state of Sarawak to the southwest and Indonesia’s North Kalimantan province to the south. The Federal Territory of Labuan is an island just off Sabah’s west coast. Sabah is known for its diverse tropical rainforest and experiences an equatorial climate. The state capital of Sabah is Kota Kinabalu, which is the most populous city in Sabah. Other major cities and towns include Jerteh, Kuala Dungun, Chukai, Kuala Berang, Marang, and Permaisuri.

Sabah was known as North Borneo during the British colonial period until 1963. Its land area is dominated by Mount Kinabalu, which is 4,101 meters high. A great tangle of ranges—the Crocker, Terus Madi, and Witti—serrate the interior and include many peaks between 4,000 and 6,000 feet. Between the Crocker Range and the sea on the west coast is an extensive, well-populated coastal plain. Other plains lie inland between the mountain massifs, while the eastern lowlands are partly dissected peneplains. Sabah is richly blessed with nature diversity, unique cultures, fun adventure, beautiful beaches, and fantastic cuisines for the adventurous taste buds.
