Good morning ladies and gentleman, welcome to Sunan Gunung Jati Grave introduce my self my name is Uma Siti Humaeroh i’m local guide in here. I will guide to explore in this tourist attraction around one hour. And now we are enter to Sunan Gunung Jati Grave.
Everybody, The most famous place of interest of Cirebon is about five kilometres north of the city, at the shore. It's the Astana Gunung Jati, the grave of Gunung Jati. The name origins from the small, 25 metre high hill, overgrown with djati trees - the 'Djati Mountain', is the translation.

This place seems an original village of the Hinduist harbour of Caruban, in which Syeh Datuk Kahfi, an Islamic speaker, arrived in the 15th century. Caruban got famous rapidly because it became the centre of conversion. The nowadays complex shows graves from the early 15th century. It a place of worship for pilgrims from all over Jawa.

Everybody, On top of the hill, from Cirebon on the right side of the hill, is the grave of Syeh Datuk Kahfi. Besides the centuries old ramshackle brick walls a stone stairs leads to the top, from which people had a great view over the area. The holy grave of Sunan Gunung Jati and other graves, under which the graves of the royal families from Cirebon, a second hill can be found, Bukit Sembung, across the road towards the west.

There is a parking lot, surrounded by little shops with souvenirs, amulets and empty bottles for holy water. Persisting street sellers and 'guides' bother the tourists continuously. Pay the low entry price at the gate of candi bentar, and leave the sellers for what they are.

The most important mausoleums are located on a hill at the back of the complex. They are only opened in high season and with special permission of the sultan. Luckily the graves lower on the hill and the mosque give an good impression of the place. Just like in the palaces of Cirebon the pavilions are built with wood-carved constructions, and the masonry walls contain Delft tiles and Chinese plates.

Well ladies and gentleman, i think enought I hope you  have a good impression and knowledge about this tourrist attraction will improve and everybody i hope you will come back again. Everybody now  I give you the time to take picture in arround here and after that you can come back to your bus at 09.00 am.
