Tawi-Tawi Archipelagic Province



The New Philippine Tourist Destination - Tawi-Tawi Archipelagic Province. This charming and majestic province is the southernmost of the Philippines sharing sea borders with State of Sabah and the Indonesian East Kalimantan province.

Prehistoric travelers from the Asian mainland would repeat the word as "jaui-jaui" to mean "far away" because of the distance of the islands from the continent of Asia.

Truly beautiful tropical group of islands and islets to choose from with unspoiled white-sandy beaches and serene landscapes. From sacred mountain and the rolling hills where the provincial capitol building is located to white-sandy beaches of hundreds of islets plus the gentle and so kind local people, Tawi-Tawi is truly a paradise.

The oldest mosque in the Philippines can be found in in this province, as well as ethnic groups Sama, Jama Mapun, Tausug and Badjaos.
