A highlight for many visitors to Sarawak is a stay with one of the tribes in a traditional longhouse, home to many families under one roof.
Sarawak has over 40 ethnic groups, each with its own traditions, culture and language. The Iban tribe (also known as Sea Dayaks because of their history as pirates and fishermen) were once feared as headhunters, but are now better known for their traditional weavings, silver craft, wood carvings, beadwork and friendly nature.
