Introduction to Siria, Brunei
Siria is a town in Brunei Darussalam, located in the southeastern part of the Brunei-Muara district, near the border with Sarawak, Malaysia. It was once an important center of Brunei's petroleum industry and has fueled Brunei's economic prosperity since the discovery of oil in the 1920s. Today, Siria retains remnants of its petroleum history, such as the site of the first oil well, and is gradually transforming into a diversified industry.
Economy and Resources
The economy of Siria has long been dependent on the extraction activities of Brunei Shell, with refineries and gas facilities. In recent years, the Brunei government has been actively promoting tourism and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to reduce energy dependence. There are also agricultural and forestry resources around the town, but on a smaller scale.
Cultural and Tourism Highlights
Visitors can learn about Brunei's energy history and culture by visiting the Siria Petroleum Museum, the Billion Barrel Monument and Royal Regalia related attractions. The pace of life in the town is relaxed, with Malay traditions dominating, making it a great place to experience Brunei's countryside and natural beauty.
Transportation and Location
Situated about 100 kilometers from the capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan, Seri Begawan is connected by road and takes about 1.5 hours to drive. Its location in northern Borneo, with its hot and humid climate, makes it suitable for year-round visits and a great gateway for exploring eastern Brunei.
