Pengerang Port of Entry
| |
| |
Pengerang is a small customs and immigration post southeast of Johor Bahru, Malaysia. It is to the south of Desaru and adjacent to Singapore.
There isn't very much to Pengerang apart from the nearby customs post at Tanjung Pengelih. From the customs post a few taxi drivers will take you in to town where there are a few small shops.
Pengerang is too far from Johor Bahru to make the cost of taxis worthwhile for the trip. You are better to take the ferry back to Singapore and go via the public transport system.
For all other details (weather, etc) see the Tanjung Pengelih or Johor Bahru pages.
