With a land area of 9425 square kilometers, Kedah is the perfect spot for holiday as there are many activities for a traveler to enjoy, ranging from jungle trekking to scuba diving.

However, the actual truth is, Kedah is a rapidly growing state here in Malaysia. With the newly built Alor Setar Tower as Kedah’s landmark, located in the heart of the city under looking the whole area , this misconception is proven wrong as the Alor Setar tower is one of the major attractions here in Kedah.
