Did you know that while the Maldives has more than 200 islands, most people stay at only one hotel?
The Maldives is one of the most popular holiday destinations and a truly spectacular attraction. Let's take a look at it...
1. The Maldives is a group of islands scattered around the Indian Ocean.
Once known as the Maldives Archipelago, they were first settled by seafarers from India and Sri Lanka in the 5th century BC.
2. The island was Muslim in 1153.
The Maldives was initially protected by what is now Sri Lanka and was protected by the British in 1887.
The Maldives signed an independence agreement with the United Kingdom on 26 July 1965 and became a republic.
3. The island is inhabited by more than 200 people.
When your plane has landed, you will be transferred to the island of "Robinson Crusoe" by speedboat or seaplane, where you will be greeted by a member of staff and escorted to your hotel.
But you can't be picky about your hotel, as on these islands, there is usually only one.
Interestingly, they recommend that you only need to bring a handbag or backpack with you before going to the island, as your heavier luggage will be transferred later due to the weight limits of the seaplane.
4. For people who are "enthusiastic and generous" or free and unrestrained, they may need to get used to it slowly.
Due to its Islamic belief, swimming naked is forbidden here and can be punished with a hefty fine if found. It is forbidden to wear swimwear to eat in the restaurant. Visitors should enter the church in a dignified manner, dressed in length for both hands and feet. Female visitors are not allowed to wear short-sleeved or sleeveless clothing, shorts and skirts. Remember to take off your shoes before walking into the mosque.
5. The temperature is almost not less than 30 ° C.
However, if you plan to visit between May and October, you may need an umbrella as these islands receive the most rainfall during this period.
6. The Maldives is a great place to relax.
The islands are great places for tourists to relax, but there are still a few activities worth exploring.
Snorkeling, diving, and glass-bottom boat trips are popular activities for marine life.
Evening cruises offer sunset views you won't be able to see anywhere else, as well as the chance to see dolphins.
7. Donis Boat Cruises are also very popular.
Originally used as a fishing boat, the Donis boat became a popular means of transportation for the locals, and many people were not opposed to taking travelers out to see marine life.
Some are even ready to spend a few unforgettable nights on board!
8. The currency is Rafia.
The best place to shop is in the capital, Malé, with its high-rise buildings and very nice neon signs.
Completely different from those picturesque islands. Highlights of the city include the National Museum, the Great Friday Mosque, and the Tomb of Muhammad Takurufanu, a national hero of the Maldives.
You should visit these attractions as much as possible. The Maldives is directly threatened by global warming and shrinking polar ice sheets, as none of the maldives islands are more than six feet above sea level.
Even as you read this, many of the Maldives' coastlines are fading away.
