Muar sits at the mouth of the river of the same name on the west coast of Johor in Malaysia, and holds royal town status in the state. The riverside centre retains rows of prewar shophouses and colonial administrative buildings.

The riverfront, the Sultan Ibrahim building and the surrounding villages known for glass noodles and traditional crafts are the other draws.
The compact riverside centre is walkable and ride-hailing covers the rest. Buses connect along the coast to Melaka and Johor Bahru.
The climate is equatorial and warm year-round, with rain usually arriving as heavy afternoon downpours. There is no true dry season.
