Posted by Heidi Uy

Got only half day to explore Kota Kinabalu?

Enjoy and get the taste of the city, visit museums and neighbourhood and learn interesting facts about its history. Depending on your preferences, you can choose from a morning or an afternoon half-day city sightseeing tour.

SABAH MUSEUM –  the state museum of Sabah, Malaysia. The main building also houses the Sabah Art Gallery. Other galleries cover Islamic civilisation, archeology, history, natural history, ceramics and brassware.
