SABAH, washed by the South China Sea, the Sulu Sea and the Celebes Sea, Sabah has a long indented coastline and excellent dive sites, such as those around the islands of Mabul, Sipadan and Layang Layang. Attracting climbers is Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in Southeast Asia and the focal point of Kinabalu Park, a World Heritage Site, which encompasses the Poring Hot Springs. Sabah has five other national parks including the Tunku Abdul Rahman marine park, and is home to three main indigenous groups namely, Kadaxan-Dusun, Murut and Bajau.

Places of interest in the state capital of Kota Kinabalu include the State Museum, Sabah Foundation Building, the waterfront Central Market, Sutera Harbour Resort which has a marina and Tanjung Aru Beach. Beyond, Borneo's only rail service winds along the Padas River, a challenging rafting site, affording a spectacular view of the Padas Gorge. Other attractions are Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary, Danum Valley Conservation Area, Semporna marine tourism centre, Gomantong Gavcs where the swiftlets' ' bird nest' delicacy is harvested and Kota Belud's colourful Sunday market or 'tamu'.
