The Museum traces the history of the Johor Sultanate and exhibits paintings, historical dioramas, weaponry and much more. "Kampung Makam" (Tomb Village) is a historic complex located just 1.5km northeast of the bus terminal and is the other tourist attraction of Kota Tinggi. Its name was probably derived from the presence of several Malay royal tombs of historic significance. The most prominent of these tombs is that belonging to Sultan Mahmud, the 10th ruler of the Johor Sultanate. In the same complex exists fort-like stone walls resembling the remnants of a building or palace. The walls are of stone and corals while the mortar is made of a mixture of pounded cockle shells and other materials.

The cost is RM20 per person and lasted about 45 minutes. Individual travellers will join the large tour groups who had their dinner nearby before the firefly tour. Most people head for the nearby waterfalls. If you do not drive you will need to hire a taxi from the bus terminal. The current fare is RM20 to the falls. Negotiate for the return fare at the same time. It is about RM25. Tell the driver when to pick you up. May need to spend between 1 to 2 hours there.
