Seria

About

It was in Seria that Brunei’s first commercial onshore oilfield was discovered in 1929. The small city offers unique attractions, with the Seria Mosque standing as a prominent landmark. The Oil and Gas Discovery Centre provides insights into the industry, while the seafront park features static nodding donkeys, symbolic of the oil extraction process. Visit the Billionth Barrel Monument, commemorating the extraction of the billionth barrel of onshore oil, accompanied by state plaques depicting scenes from the industry. While strolling along the streets surrounding the bus station, you’ll notice the donkeys and storage tanks that dot the landscape. A giant food court awaits, offering opportunities to savor local flavors. Seria's charm extends beyond its oil industry, as nature enthusiasts may spot hornbills—fascinating birds native to the area.
