Did you know it was founded way back in 1735?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This makes it older than the United States itself. The city has seen its fair share of drama too, from Siamese invasions to British rule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Alor Setar was founded by Sultan Muhammad Jiwa Zainal Adilin II, the 19th Sultan of Kedah. It became the eighth administrative centre of the state, which is quite impressive when you think about it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The name of the city has a story; \u201cAlor\u201d means small stream, and \u201cSetar\u201d refers to the Bouea macrophylla tree, also known as the plum mango. So, in a way, you could say that the city is named after a fruit tree by a stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whens_the_Best_Time_to_Visit\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>When&#8217;s the Best Time to Visit?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Alright, seems like we have sparked your curiosity. Now, the next question is, when should you go?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Well, Alor Setar has a tropical climate, which means it is pretty warm year-round. However, if you are not a fan of the rain, try to avoid the monsoon season which is from April to October.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">November to March is generally dry and is perfect for exploring. You must keep in mind that Malaysia is a Muslim-majority country, and Alor Setar is no exception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are planning to visit during Ramadan, be prepared for some businesses to have different operating hours. But do not let that deter you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Experience in Ramadan in a Muslim country can be a unique and cultural experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Around_Alor_Setar\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Getting Around Alor Setar<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, let us talk about <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.malaysiavisa.ae\/blog\/public-transport-in-malaysia\/\">public transportation<\/a><\/span> in Alor Setar. Even though the city isn&#8217;t huge, it is not exactly walkable either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We recommend using GRAB taxis. They are affordable, reliable, and can get you to even the most out-of-the-way spots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Plus, it is a great chance to chat with locals and get some insider tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But, if you are feeling adventurous, you can also rent a bicycle. Alor Setar is relatively flat, making it a good place for cycling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lets_Get_to_the_Good_Stuff_What_to_Do\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Let&#8217;s Get to the Good Stuff: What to Do<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>1.
