Then it's on to the Water Village, the biggest village on water in the world - a network of houses on stilts, lively markets and ancient mosques, where time seems to stand still. You can even step inside one of these typical houses and sip on a tea-based drink.
At the Royal Regalia Museum, you'll be surrounded by royal treasures. Ready to see the golden royal chariot, weapons sparkling like stars and jeweled crowns in the flesh?
The tour will also take you to the majestic Jame Asr Hassanal Bolkiah Mosque, with its golden domes which look like something out of a dream.
