Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Male, Kaafu Atoll

January 15, 2022 Sheron Bogner

The island capital of the Maldives teems with high rises and narrow streets, all ringed by seawalls. Shopaholics can savor Male's flavors in the local markets, which are packed with fresh produce, and along Chaandanee Magu, the spot for local souvenirs, such as carved wooden dhonis, miniature replicas of the boats dotting area waters. The golden-domed Friday Mosque presides over the landscape, while the underwater riches of the atolls lure scuba enthusiasts from around the globe.

Transfers in the Maldives tend to pricey no matter how you go. If you can get a public ferry it’s the cheapest option. We were traveling with a family of 5 and hopping from island to island direct (without stopping in Male) so the speedboat options from Atoll Transfer made sense, and were about 1/3 of the resort’s transfer costs. They picked us up, on time, got us where we needed to go, no problems, no hassles.

Male Fish Market

Reviewed By ohiowanderer

Located across the road from the fishing boats, the fish market is full of fish of all sizes and various colors. Along the right hand side, fish is filleted expertly as you watch. It's a small market so plan about 15 minutes here.

Grand Friday Mosque

Reviewed By chathuandishanka - Kalutara, Sri Lanka

The largest mosque in male and built with donations from many Islamic countries. The surrounding area is also very clean and neat and you may spend some time here. It is allowed to enter the premises for everyone including ladies if you are not wearing revealing clothes. This is my first experience inside a mosque as it is not allowed to enter them in most of other countries. Good place to blend in with local culture and get to know a thing or two about them.

For me it was very interesting experience to see the House of the Maldivian President. It is not allowed to go inside, of course. But it's still a nice sight from outside.
