Miri, a coastal city in northeastern Sarawak, Malaysia, is often referred to as the birthplace of Malaysia's petroleum industry. It is also the gateway to Sarawak's stunning national parks and incredible biodiversity, including the world-famous Gunung Mulu National Park.

Miri has a tropical rainforest climate, with high humidity and heavy rainfall throughout the year, which supports its lush rainforests and coastal mangroves.

Miri Airport, one of the busiest in Sarawak, provides connectivity to major cities in Malaysia and nearby countries. Taxis, buses, and car rentals are available for convenient travel around the city and to the national parks.

Miri’s cuisine showcases a variety of local and indigenous dishes, with seafood playing a significant role due to its coastal location. Must-try foods include umai (a traditional seafood ceviche) and midin (a wild fern popular in Sarawak dishes).

Popular attractions include the Miri-Sibuti Coral Reef National Park for diving enthusiasts, the Lambir Hills National Park with its diverse species and waterfall trails, and the Grand Old Lady, the first oil well in Malaysia located on Canada Hill, offering panoramic views of the city and coastline.
