💡 Tips

Plan your drives along Jalan Tutong outside of rush hours, as traffic can get heavy.
Keep in mind that on Fridays between 12 PM and 2 PM, almost all shops and restaurants close for prayer.
Use the local ride-hailing app 'Dart', as public transport is sparse in this suburb.
Dress conservatively, covering shoulders and knees, especially when walking through local neighborhoods.

Sengkurong is a densely populated mukim (sub-district) in the Brunei-Muara District, located to the west of the capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. It has developed over recent decades from a collection of traditional villages into a bustling suburban area with significant commercial activity. The area is situated along the main coastal highway that connects the capital to the western parts of the country, which has contributed to its growth. Sengkurong is characterized by a mix of housing, from traditional wooden houses to modern suburban homes, as well as numerous shops, restaurants, and local businesses. It is home to several schools and mosques, including the prominent Sultan Sharif Ali Mosque. The area is also known for its proximity to popular beaches like Pantai Jerudong, adding to its appeal as a residential location.
