Oliver Fred
Located right at the end of Tanjung Aru Beach is one the best ever spot to immerse yourself into the beautiful dawn of sunset, Shangrila's Tanjung Aru Sabah Sunset Bar, om a day clear non rainy day you will get to sight that jaw drapping sky changing colours durimg the sunset hour ard 5pm onwards, the other part of Tanjung Aru is a public beach so do expect super crowded on weekends, public holidays and even on school holidays

Mosques

The Water Mosque is a municipal mosque in Yabe. This one in the suburbs is state-owned, bigger and more magnificent. There are basically no tourists. It is free to rent clothes. It can only go to the main hall. The other halls are worshiping and not allowed to enter.
