A site of great cultural importance, the Grand Friday Mosque in the Maldives is a ‘must visit’ attraction when on a sightseeing tour. This site can be found in the country’s capital, Male which is well worth making excursions to when staying at Maldives luxury resorts. One option worth considering is Baros Maldives which features Maldives villa accommodation in a truly idyllic coastal setting.
The country’s largest mosque, the Grand Friday Mosque with its distinct golden dome is an iconic attraction in Male. Home to the Islamic Centre, this sacred site features distinctive minarets along with coral engravings and intricate carvings and designs. With the capacity to accommodate more than five thousand people, the Grand Friday Mosque is also where you will find the tombs of certain royal members along with national heroes too. A visit here provides an invaluable insight into the rich heritage of this Muslim country and is a not to be missed experience.
