Alor Star is one of the major city in northern Malaysia, hence getting to Alor Star is not a problem at all. There a few ways you can get there i.e. by air, road, and rail. MAS and AirAsia run frequent flight service to Alor Star from KL (45mins), about toal of 3 to 4 flights daily. By car/bus, Alor Star well linked by the North South Highway and the Federal Route 1. It takes about 5 hours if you drive on the highway and bus takes about 6 hours. By train, Langkawi express is the training travelling north from KL, it will takes 8 hours, althought is a bit long compares to car or bus, the sceneray you get will be worth it.
Getting around town is a bit inconvinient. There are two bus station in this city. The main bus station which is located slightly outside the city near the Mergong Industrial Area is the main station where all the buses from outstation will stop and from there the local bus service will be available. The city bus service may not be the ideal way to travel around unless you really want to cut cost on your expenses. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

This majestic state mosque with the moorish design of five domes to reflect the five pillars of Islam is a jewel - real beauty that looks better in real life than in digital photo.
Masjid Zahir was officially open in 1912. It serves as the venue of Kedah annual Koran reading competition.
Located in the middle of town with all the prewar Chinatown buildings, it adds a special Kedah charm and the importance of Islam and Kedah royalty as the mosque was the vision of the previous late King of Kedah - Sultan Muhammad Jiwa Zainal Abidin II. Address: Downtown Alor Setar, Kedah

The museum is also a research centre on Kedah's civilisation. Before the present premise was built in 1936, the museum - officially opened by the then Kedah Mentri Besar Tan Sri Tunku Ismail Tunku Yahya (Tunku indera Setia), on February 3, 1957 - was located in the Balai Besar (Grand Hall).
Like the Balai Besar, the present state museum building radiates a stylish integration of local and Thai architectural aspects. Directions: LOCATED NEAR THE DARULAMAN STADIUM AND CAN REACH BY BUS OR TAXI JUST 2KM FROM CITY CENTRE
