Kota Bharu Cottage Industries Tour

Fascinating Kota Bahru

See Kota Bharu’s small scale industries, see how ‘songket’ is made and visit a batik factory


Overview
The town of Kota Bharu is known for its highly skilled artisans and its diverse cottage industries. Small cottage industries generate a substantial revenue and contribute highly to the Malaysian economy. Kota Bharu, the capital of Kelantan is a perfect location to explore the strength and secret of the Malaysian small scale industries. Places worth visiting are the local batik factory, the kite factory and the silver craft centre. Kota Bharu is famous for the ‘songket’, a cloth which requires high skill and artistry to weave gold or silver threads in it. The colourful Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah is a photographer’s delight.
