About 12km from Kuah is Makam Mahsuri or the Tomb of Mahsuri, which is located within the Kota Mahsuri Complex in Ulu Melaka. Locals say this was the exact spot the fair maiden breathed her last after her execution in Padang Mat Sirat. 

This newly re-built complex replaces the previous one. It now  features a museum with dioramas, the must-see Mek Mulung traditional theater auditorium and reconstructions of Langkawi houses that represent the architecture popular during Mahsuri's time hundreds of years ago. This pleasant historical enclave makes for a leisurely walkabout. A traditional Malay warung (stall) sells refreshments with a sitting area over-looking the vast padi fields of Ulu Melaka. Mahsuri's Well is also located within the complex.

Where the restored Rumah Kedah (traditional Kedah house) stands is believed to be where Mahsuri's house originally stood. Before reaching Rumah Kedah you will see four local women preparing traditional snacks.The snacks - kuih loyang, kuih peneram and kuih karas - are sold at RM2 per packet or 20 sen per piece.
