Description

Saeh Hill sits at the south of both Kampong Ayer and Bandar Seri Begawan with a height of 738 feet (225 m).[6] Moreover, it is also the highest peak in the country's capital Bandar Seri Begawan, which is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) away.[7] Notably due to the hill's geographical location, storms heading towards Kampong Ayer were shielded alongside the help of Kota Batu's highlands.[8]
