The sunny isles of the Maldives are quite the temptation for tourists yearning for that mush deserved break from work. This is why the country is often at the centre of many holiday retreats, either with family or friends. The capital of Male offers guests a truly remarkable adventure. However before journeying to these attractive areas of the city, one must look to the comfort of Maldives island resorts. Amongst resorts in Maldives, one might want to consider a stay at Maafushivaru Maldives.
Though small in appearance, the Esjehi Art Gallery found within an ancient building in Male, is a treasure trove of art. With an extensive collection of art on display, tourists must certainly come here to witness its serene ambience and dazzling creations all at once. Since Sunni Islam is the main religion of the country, one could find pleasure in the imposing Grand Friday Mosque. Complete with age-old architectural styles and thinking, the capacity of the mosque has been numbered to around 5000 and was the brainchild of Sultan Ibrahim Iskandhar in the year 1656. Next on the list of attractions are the beaches of course. The exotic setting together with the many activities that one could indulge in, make for a memorable holiday. Since the Maldives constitutes a collection of beautiful islands, fishing plays an important role in the lives of the locals. Male too benefits from this practice. The crowded area of the Maldives Fish Market with its variety of tuna, dried fish and fruits would be a great opportunity to learn of the local ways of life. Additionally if one has spare time, a trip to the Singapore Bazaar is advised. Here traditional handicrafts of Maldivians are displayed and provide travellers a chance to purchase them as souvenirs to take back home.
