Malaysia is a country that surprises you at every corner. Islam is the official religion here. But there are just as many girls in mini short as there are girls with their heads covered.
Having read that Malay is the country's official language, a traveller begins to learn words and phrases so as not to get lost in a foreign land. On arrival, however, it turns out that most locals are fluent in English.
The famous tropical downpours are usually over before you've had a cup of tea, and rarely interfere with your holiday plans. And just because the country is quite close to the equator it doesn't mean it's always hot.
The expectation that "everything is spicy” and concerns that you won’t be able to stomach the chilli fire remain unwarranted.
The choice of cuisines in Malaysia will satisfy any foodie.
Holidays in Malaysia are not confined to beaches, as many people think. As well as the turquoise lagoons of Langkawi Island and the islands of the East Coast, you can also visit the tea plantations in the Cameron Highlands, try your luck at Genting Casino, visit the aboriginal people of Pahang jungle, or loose the track of time at one of the world's biggest shopping centres.
The beautiful highways that connect all parts of the country and the air routes within the country help make the wildest ideas come true. It is not for nothing that Malaysia is one of the top ten most visited countries in the world. We will be glad to help you organize a trip to Malaysia according to your interests. We are sure that you will definitely want to come back again.

When to go to Malaysia
What makes Malaysia unique is that there is no concept of a 'low season' in the country. When there are heavy rains in Sabah, tourists sunbathe on the beaches of Langkawi, Pangkor or Penang, and vice versa. The key is to choose the right resort and programme at the right time. For that, you have us.

Kuala Lumpur has three airports.
