Ulu Tiram (Jawi: اولو تيرم; Chinese: 乌鲁地南; Tamil: உலு தீராம்) is a suburb in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. The town lies along Tebrau Highway, a section of Malaysia Federal Route 3, at the junction which leads to Ulu Tiram. As a major trunk road on Peninsular Malaysia's east coast, Federal Route 3 connects Ulu Tiram with major east coast towns and cities such as Mersing, Pekan, Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu and Kota Bharu. Ulu Tiram is easily accessible through the Tebrau Highway, Jalan Kota Tinggi trunk road, and the Senai–Desaru Expressway.^[1]

Ulu Tiram is located approximately 18 km from Johor Bahru to the south and 20 km from Kota Tinggi to the north.

History

Since the 1990s, the urban expansion of Johor Bahru has ended Ulu Tiram's relative isolation and it is now one of the fastest growing suburbs of the city as part of the Tebrau growth corridor. The town hosts a taxi depot which ferries people around Johor as well as to Johor Bahru. The taxi depot hosts a small shopping complex. The town is of little interest; markets and shophouses selling various provisions and accessories constitutes much of the town. The town also hosts a small housing and industrial estate.
