Located in the heart of Alor Setar, this 165.5-metre tower
is one of the tallest telecommunications tower in the world. It is a prominent
and modern landmark that signifies the rapid development in the state of Kedah.
At its tip is the Seri Angkasa Revolving Restaurant which
specialises in a variety of sumptious local as well as international cuisine.
From here, one can enjoy a spectacular view of Alor Setar and nearby
Butterworth. On clear days, you can even try to spot the neighbouring country
of Thailand!
Besides landmark-spotting, the tower also serves as an
observatory tower from which to look for the crescent moon to mark the
beginning of Muslim months. The observation deck stands at a height of 88
metres from the base of the structure.
Tickets to the observation deck are MYR 6 for adults and MYR
3 for children (prices subject to change). A souvenir shop at this level
ensures that breathtaking views are cemented as little trinkets for your trip
home.
