Full Malaysia - Singapore Tour

Meeting at Istanbul Airport's International Departures Terminal. After completing ticket and baggage procedures, we arrive at Kuala Lumpur Airport by Turkish Airlines flight. After baggage and passport control, we meet our bus. We then depart for Putrajaya, Malaysia's future capital. Putrajaya is Malaysia's most organized city, meticulously crafted for its architecture and the future capital, which will be completely relocated from Kuala Lumpur to this city. At the beginning of our city tour, we observe the iconic bridges, each from a different country, adorning the city. We stop at one to take a photo. As the Malaysian Minister of Tourism stated, you only need to visit this city to see all the world's unique and iconic bridges. We then climb up to the PICC and look down on the city from above. Our next stop is the Putrajaya Mosque. With its predominantly pink interior and exterior, this mosque resembles a blooming flower and is also known as the Pink Mosque. After visiting the Putrajaya Mosque, we depart for Shah Alam, the capital of Selangor State. We visit the Sultan Salahuddin Aziz Shah Mosque, the largest mosque in Malaysia and the second largest in Southeast Asia, opened in 1988 and boasting four impressive minarets. Its blue dome also makes it known as the "Blue Mosque," as tourists often call the Sultanahmet Mosque. Throughout the tour, we'll see local and historic Malay houses along the riverbank. After our Shah Alam tour, we'll depart for our hotel. Overnight at our Kuala Lumpur hotel.

After breakfast, our first stop is the Petronas Twin Towers, the city's iconic landmark. Guests can take photos in front of the Twin Towers, spend time at the Suria KLCC Shopping Mall, and shop at affordable prices in stores offering discounts year-round. Then, we head towards Kuala Lumpur's Merdeka (Freedom) Square. We'll visit the National Museum, the Kuala Lumpur City Gallery, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, the Library of Islamic Art Books, and the Museum of Islamic Art, home to over 7,000 works. Among the highlights, you'll be amazed by the Islamic Architecture Gallery, which displays reproductions of famous buildings such as the Taj Mahal in India, the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, and the Mausoleum of Timur in Uzbekistan. After a pleasant time in Merdeka Square, we'll head to Masjid Negara (National Mosque), the symbol of Malaysia's independence. We'll perform our noon prayers at this mosque, the first mosque in Malaysia to feature its unique architecture. After our prayer break, we head to Batu Caves, a Hindu pilgrimage site. Here, we'll see a giant statue of Lord Muruga, temples at the bottom of a staircase of approximately 400 steps, and figures depicting the story of Lord Muruga. Afterward, we'll head to Central Market, where we'll find souvenirs and handcrafted items symbolic of Malay culture. Guests can also visit Petaling Street, also known as Chinatown, here. Overnight at our Kuala Lumpur hotel.

After breakfast at our hotel, our first stop is Colmar Tropicale French Village, located in Pahang, about an hour from the city center. Inspired by 17th-century French towns, we spend some free time in this themed village, where you can see impressive examples of French architecture. Its colorful buildings and stone paths offer a European atmosphere. Then, we head to our second stop, the Japanese Village, located about 10 minutes from Colmar Tropicale. Built in the 1990s, the Japanese Village embodies Japanese culture with its traditional Japanese gardens, teahouses, and bamboo forests. Here, you can stroll through the tranquility of nature and experience the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. After exploring these beautiful landscapes and villages, we head to our final stop, Genting Highland. Construction began with the construction of a hotel after 1965, and has now transformed into a massive hotel complex at 1,800 meters, a popular destination for Chinese people from around the world to gamble. The Chin Swee Buddhist Temple, also located at 1,600 meters, is a popular tourist attraction. Access to these two stops is available by both road and cable car. After some free time to shop at the Genting Premium Outlet, located where the cable car begins, we take the cable car to Chin Swee Temple, where we'll learn about Buddhist worship and the birth of Buddhism from our guide. After taking in the fresh air of the plateau, we return to the city center. Overnight at our Kuala Lumpur hotel.

After breakfast, depart for the airport to take the earliest flight to Singapore. A one-hour flight will take you to Singapore. After passport and baggage procedures, we depart from Singapore Airport, repeatedly voted the world's most beautiful airport, home to the Waterfall, and begin our panoramic city tour. Among the city's historical and tourist attractions are the Orchid Gardens within the Botanical Garden, Chinatown, and Orchard Road, the famous shopping street. At the end of our city tour, we depart for Masjid Sultan, Singapore's most magnificent mosque. Construction began in 1824 by Singapore's first Sultan, Sultan Hussein, and the mosque was restored in 1932 by Denis Santry, Singapore's oldest architectural firm, to its current magnificent appearance. After prayers at Masjid Sultan, we depart for Sentosa Island. The afternoon is free on the island. Guests who wish can take the cable car, enter Universal Studios Theme Park, or swim in the sea. (Cabins and showers are available.) We bid farewell to Singapore around 7:30 PM. After a full-day Singapore city tour, we drive back to Malaysia. Depart for the Singapore border. The border crossing will be done on foot. After completing the necessary customs and passport procedures, we will check into our hotel in Johor Bahru and overnight.

After breakfast at our hotel, we'll head to Mersing, a province belonging to Johor Bahru, located in the southeastern part of the Malay Peninsula. We'll set sail on a boat departing from the port. Throughout the tour, you'll be able to see the corals on the southeastern side of this peninsula while snorkeling. Our first stop is Sribuat Island. We'll climb and snorkel on this island, and then return to our boats. Then, we'll arrive at our second stop, Raja Island. Here, we'll find more opportunities for snorkeling and swimming at the beach. Our next stop is Harimau Island. Depending on the water level, we'll have the opportunity to swim in the lagoons and, depending on the island's high water level, jump into the sea from a higher point. Afterwards, we'll head to Hujung Island for lunch. Guests are also welcome to swim there. After lunch and some free time, we'll head to Tengah Island, one of the small but lush islands in this region. We'll take photos here and enjoy a swim there. Then, we'll arrive at Besar Island, the last island of the day. Besar Island is one of the larger islands in this region with a beautiful coastline. You can enjoy the beach and snorkel if you like. Afterwards, we board our boat and head to our hotel. After dinner, we'll stay overnight at our hotel. Overnight in Melaka.

After breakfast at our hotel, we begin our tour of the historic city of Malacca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our first stop will be the Malacca Mosque, the region's most magnificent mosque. This mosque is located on the banks of the Straits of Malacca, the Far East's most strategic historical and commercial site. At the A'famosa Castle, we'll hear from our guide how Malaysia was colonized by the Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch, and British, and how they fought each other to conquer Malaysia. We'll then visit Stadhuys and St. Paul's Church to experience the distinct cultures and traces left in Malaysia by each nation vying for control. Guests who wish can take a short city tour in the square on a trishaw, a traditional bicycle-car style vehicle, for a nominal fee, while listening to Malay music. Due to the large Chinese population in Melaka, the Nyonya (baba) culture dominates. To get a closer look at this culture, we'll visit the Baba & Nyonya Museum and then move on to Jonkers Walt, a Chinese community. Those who wish can visit Cheng Hoon Teng, one of the world's few temples that honors both Taoism and Confucianism, located just off Jonkers Walt. You can also visit Nyonya One Finger Shoe, a family-run shop that still produces the one-finger shoes that the ancient Chinese wore for beauty. Our Malacca tour continues with a small boat tour. Throughout the tour, we see local and historic Malay houses along the river. After our enjoyable tour, we'll stay at our Melaka hotel.

After an early breakfast (a box breakfast is possible) at our hotel, transfer to the airport for our return. After passport and check-in procedures, transfer to Istanbul on a connecting Turkish Airlines flight. This concludes our enjoyable tour.
