Alor Setar Tower

Alor Setar Tower (Menara Alor Setar) rises above Kedah’s capital as a telecommunications and observation landmark with sweeping views over paddy fields, the city grid and distant hills. Opened in the mid-1990s, it reflects the state’s pride in modern skyline while remaining rooted in a rice-bowl landscape. Ride to the observation deck for daytime panoramas or return after dark when the tower’s lighting makes it glow against the night. Pair the visit with nearby Zahir Mosque and downtown heritage streets for a compact Alor Setar highlight reel. Tickets are modest; allow time for the lift queues on weekends when families and school groups fill the deck.
