Saeh Hill (Malay: Bukit Saeh),[2] is a hill in Mukim Lumapas, Brunei-Muara District of Brunei.[3] The Bukit Saeh Recreational Park also exists in nearby Kampong Lumapas 'A'.[4] The hill is known for activities such as hiking and sometimes Jungle Rescue Course for search and rescue.[5]

Description

Saeh Hill sits at the south of both Kampong Ayer and Bandar Seri Begawan with a height of 728 feet (222 m).[6] Moreover, it is also the highest peak in the country's capital Bandar Seri Begawan, which is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) away.[7] Notably due to the hill's geographical location, storms heading towards Kampong Ayer were shielded alongside the help of Kota Batu's highlands.[8]
