Sky Jet Destinations


A pot pourri of cultures blend together in this island nation to give Singapore a unique and paralleled cross section of race, religion and tradition.

From the modernistic face to the financial district of the world's busiest port to the mystique and fascination of Chinatown; from the colonial grandeur of Raffles to the tranquility of the Botanical Gardens.

Singapore has become an ideal gateway for visitors to Asia.

This is where modern skyscrapers house glittering shopping malls and offer a striking contrast to the still evident traditional lifestyle of the old Singapore seen in the colourful local markets offering Chinese, Malay and Indian Artifacts and delicacies.
