Male City Walk Day Tour of the Maldives Capital

The Maldives is an island country in the Indian Ocean, consisting of 1,190 coral islands spread across 26 atolls. It is known for its clear waters, white sandy beaches, and rich marine life, and is often referred to as "paradise on earth." Winter (November to April) is the best time to visit the Maldives, with clear skies and perfect conditions for water activities. --- Recommended Attractions 1. Male City • The capital of the Maldives and the country's political and economic center. Here, you will find both modern buildings and traditional markets and mosques. We recommend visiting Sultan Park, the National Museum, and the Male Fish Market. 2. Meeru Island • Meeru Island is a famous resort island in the Maldives, with well-preserved natural vegetation and a primitive, rustic appearance. It was once a popular honeymoon destination for newlyweds from Europe. 3. Full Moon Island • Full Moon Island was one of the first resorts in the Maldives to open to Chinese tourists. The island is full of flowers, and the beach rooms are hidden among the green vegetation, offering a five-star accommodation experience. 4. Paradise Island • Paradise Island is the filming location of the movie "After the Sunset." Surrounded by the sea, it has beautiful beaches and rich marine life. Here, you can enjoy sunbathing, snorkeling, and diving. 5. Olhuveli Beach & Spa Resort • Olhuveli Beach & Spa Resort has a 2 km long white beach, and the pier is home to rich marine life, making it a great place for fish watching and snorkeling. --- Recommended Food 1. Seafood • The seafood in the Maldives is very fresh, and lobster, scallops, fish, and salads are good choices. 2. Tropical Fruits • The Maldives is rich in tropical fruits such as bananas, coconuts, and mangoes, which can be tasted at local markets. 3.
