About Arau

Despite being the royal capital, Arau is overshadowed by the Perlis' actual capital, Kangar, which lies 14 kilometers to the West of Arau. The town's main significance to travellers is its train station, which gives access to the port at Kuala Perlis, from where there are boats to Langkawi and Thailand.

Travel to Arau

Arau's train station is on the main Kuala Lumpur—Bangkok line. It has services to both.
