Johor, a state in southern Malaysia linked to Singapore by causeway, is known for its beaches and rainforests. Desaru Beach has resorts along white sand, while Endau Rompin National Park protects rhinoceros and mountainous jungle. The capital, Johor Bahru, reflects its melting-pot history with landmarks such as Victorian-era Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque and Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple, a crystal Hindu shrine.
