Why Johor Bahru suits Hari Raya Puasa

  • March is a good month

    March is one of the best months for Johor Bahru, with its most reliable weather of the year.

  • No leave needed

    It works as a day trip, and the 1 free days leave room to stay a night or two.

  • 5 min away

    RTS Link from Woodlands North (RTS Link), about 5 min. Short enough to leave on the evening before the holiday.

  • Holiday there too

    Hari Raya Puasa is also a holiday in Malaysia, so hotels fill up and prices rise. Book early.
