Male |
Male city of Maldives is the hub of commercial trade and this explains
the reason why it is the busiest place of the country. Being the capital
city, it serves as the seat for the Government of Maldives. Covering
an area of about 1.77 square Km, it is one of the most populous islands
of Maldives. Earlier, it was known as the Sultan's island.
The tradition of Maldivians of keeping their place clean is followed
even in the urban city of Male. Male houses most of the tourist attraction
spots of Maldives. To name a few, we have the national museum, Sultan
Park, Grand Friday mosque, artificial beach, fish market etc. The
view of the Male city is simply breathtaking.
The Male city of Maldives is a delight for shoppers, as it provides
the tourists & locals with a wide variety of shopping items to choose
from. You can find almost anything over here ranging from souvenirs,
handicraft items, garments and cosmetics to electronic gadgets. The
reservoir of shopping places in Male is pretty big. Apart from the
local market, the other two markets that you can visit are Majeedhee
Magu and Chaandanee Magu.
The Male Island of Sultans is one of the most sought after tourist
attraction destinations in Maldives. The place is well equipped with
all the modern facilities. It has innumerable places to eat that will
provide you with real mouth watering food. Apart from the tea shops,
there are plenty of cafes and restaurants that offer different kinds
of cuisines, apart from the Island food. So, eating out is not a problem
in Male, Maldives.
An interesting thing about the Male city is that, most of the houses
out here have very attractive names like the night flower, lovers'
paradise and so on. Male has unfortunately no beaches, so an artificial
beach has been constructed over there, which is bordered by lush green
forests. People flock there during mornings and evenings for carrying
out fitness activities and to refresh themselves. The scene of the
beach is especially pleasant during the sunset.
