Johor, the southernmost state of Peninsular Malaysia, is made up of eight districts comprising Johor Bahru, Pontian, Batu Pahat, Muar, Mersing, Kota Tinggi, Kluang and Segamat.

Johor has a Iong coast line flanking the Straits of Melaka on its western seaboard and the South China Sea on the east.

Its vast landscape is characterised by plantations of pineapple, rubber, coconut and oil palm on the binges of which nestle tranquil kampungs and quaint fishing villages.

Retaining much of its natural splendours, the state has miles of golden sand beaches and beautiful offshore islands with clear waters which are excellent for diving. The state is also endowed with several forest reserves.

Nature lovers will find the Endau-Rompin park located on the Johor-Pahang border an unforgettable experience.

This lush and relatively untouched lowland is home to several rare and endangered species including the two-horned rhinoceros. Its rocks and hills have been estimated to be nearly 250 million years old.

Johor also contains some of the best golf courses in the country.
