What to do and see in Male, Kaafu Atoll: The Best Free Things to do

September 15, 2021 Major Galusha

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.

I still haven't made it to the store but online shopping from an island nearby has been great! Nabeeh is always there for questions and makes sure that you know when the items are on their way. So far, I've been impressed with the quality of the products, the cushion covers look amazing and I love the story behind the items and the fact that local artists can get their work promoted. Thanks again Nabeeh and team for all your help and kindness and one day soon I hope to visit you in the shop!

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.
