Tomb of the pious king at Luba

Back to the Brunei stories. Continued from Views of Brunei's golden-domed mosque and its surroundings.

After the golden-domed mosque, we visited the tomb of Brunei's 15th century AD ruler Sultan Syarif Ali followed by the Brunei Museum. Next is the tomb of Sultan Kamaluddin at a rural place called Luba. Living in the 18th century he is perhaps last of the kingdom's really pious ruler.


The tomb has an outstanding location where you have to cross a river...



A look to the left...


A look to the right...


It is situated in the building on top a small hill...



A look behind...


A rest station or something...


On to the tomb building...


Just look at the maingrove swamp left behind.


You have to go up a staircase...


There is it, the tomb building...


Outside are some other tombs along with a signage pointing to the direction of prayer for Muslims, that is towards the Kaabah in Mecca.


A look behind should show how scenic the route to this tomb is...


Here's a peep inside. The tomb of Sultan Kamaluddin is on the far side...
