Menara Alor Setar is a 165 m (541 ft) telecommunication tower in Alor Setar, in the state of Kedah, Malaysia. The tower was built for Telekom Malaysia at a cost of RM40 million.
Apart from serving the role of a telecommunication tower, it also caters as a tourist destination for the town. The tower also houses some restaurants and a souvenir shop. The tower is an observatory tower to look for the crescent moon to mark the beginning of Muslim months such as Ramadhan, Shawwal, and Zulhijjah, to celebrate Ramadhan, Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Hari Raya Aidiladha, respectively.
The observation deck is at a height of 88 m (289 ft) from the base of the structure
| Unique you can see |
| It is the 2nd tallest tower in Malaysia and the 19th tallest in the world but that's far from being the big deal Kedah has come to take pride in. What matters most is that you are about to discover that the tower is an unmistakable symbolic representation of the toils, trepidations and triumphs of Kedah's journey in search of progress and prosperity throughout the years. Truly, Menara Alor Setar mirrors Kedah's infinitive rapids development whilst still retaining its glorius heydays of laid-back yet productive and balanced lifestyle that is prominently displayed through its unique architecture is the prowess and her futuristic, high-tech tenacity.  reference: |
