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 the Tebrau Highway, a section of Malaysia Federal Route 3, a major trunk road on Peninsular Malaysia's east coast that connects Ulu Tiram with major towns and cities such as Mersing, Kuantan and Kota Bharu.
Ulu Tiram is located approximately 18 km north of Johor Bahru and 20 km south of Kota Tinggi. Ulu Tiram is accessible through the Tebrau Highway, Jalan Kota Tinggi trunk road, and the Senai–Desaru Expressway.
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.
