Design a country for Gulf families from scratch and you'd get Malaysia: default halal, mosques everywhere, forgiving prices, endless nature and fun. The proven week: two gentle KL days (towers, fountain, Pavilion), Batu Caves + pink Putrajaya mosque, full Genting day, then fly to Langkawi for 5-7. Ages 2-8: Bird Park (world's largest covered — birds fly free around you), aquarium; 8-15: Skyworlds, Sunway Lagoon. Grab is the system; the daily shower is a mall break.
