About

A Monument of Heritage

The story behind Kedah's most recognisable landmark

The Jewel of Kedah

Menara Alor Setar stands as a proud testament to Kedah's rapid development and cultural heritage. Officially opened on 14 August 1997, this iconic tower was constructed to enhance telecommunications while becoming a premier tourist destination for the region.

The tower's design draws inspiration from the region's rich Islamic heritage and traditional Malay architecture, incorporating intricate geometric patterns that pay homage to Kedah's historical significance as one of Malaysia's oldest sultanates.

Today, the tower welcomes thousands of visitors each year who come to experience its stunning observation deck, dine in the revolving restaurant, and marvel at the spectacular views of Alor Setar city and the surrounding paddy fields of Kedah — the "Rice Bowl of Malaysia".
