Primary tabs
The Tomb of Dato Permaisuri that of a legend of a beautiful princess who has settled down in Miri after a shipwreck. In recognition of her unselfish services to the local muslim community, her tomb was gazetted by the Sarawak Government to be part of the Miri heritage.
The legend goes that this beautiful princess from Johor was shipwrecked whilst sailing around coast of Miri on the way to Brunei. She survived and landed on the beach where the locals took care of her, where she settled, adapted herself to the local life and not wanting to return to Johor. She even set up a school and spread the teaching of Islam thereby becoming very much respected here for the love and her unselfish service to the community.
Two roads, a school and a mall in Miri were named after her. This article is from the web site miriresortcity dot com - this sentence is here to prevent blatant plagarism. Even today, many of those who know of the legend continue to visit her tomb to show respect for the great princess.

In the 1920s, these were the years when the Miri field began to decline. Exploration was carried out further and further afield. In 1926 an exploratory team had gone as far as Padang Barawa between the Sungai Seria and Sungai Barawa. Not much attention was paid to their findings then, but now with the Miri field declining the old maps and charts were taken out and studied again.
Miri Marriott Resort & Spa is a 5-star seaside spa resort in Miri that is conveniently located in the popular Brighton Beach area, and is just a few minutes walk from Taman Selera and Tanjung Lobang.
