About Kedah

Kedah, affectionately known as The Rice Bowl of Malaysia, is a land of fertile plains, shimmering paddy fields, and tranquil villages that embody the country’s rural beauty. Agriculture remains the lifeblood of the state, and during harvest season, the landscape transforms into a stunning sea of gold. The capital city, Alor Setar, stands proudly with historical landmarks such as the Zahir Mosque, Balai Besar, and the Royal Museum, all reflecting Kedah’s long-standing sultanate — one of the oldest in the region. Nature enthusiasts can retreat to Gunung Jerai for cool mountain air and panoramic views, or explore the idyllic charm of Langkawi Island, a world-renowned UNESCO Global Geopark known for its beaches, waterfalls, and legends.

Culturally, Kedah blends simplicity with depth. The people are warm and grounded, preserving local crafts, songs, and cuisines that define the northern identity. Traditional dishes such as laksa Kedah, peknga, and gulai nangka muda represent the authentic flavors of the region — hearty, rich, and comforting. Festivals like the Pesta Menuai (Harvest Festival) and Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) highlight the state’s diversity and dynamism. With its mix of agricultural heritage, historical grace, and natural allure, Kedah offers a peaceful yet inspiring portrait of Malaysia’s northern heartland.
