The World's Smallest Capital—Malé
Recommended Attractions in Malé 🥰King Salman Mosque: Islam is the state religion of the Maldives. To understand the religious culture, visit this largest mosque in the country. The architecture is very modern and avant-garde! Don't be confused, it's the largest in the Maldives, and that's all there is to it. Islamic Centre: Named after a great national hero, the Islamic Centre holds significant commemorative value for the locals. The grand golden dome of the mosque, exquisite wood carvings, and Arabic calligraphy wall decorations are all worth seeing. 🌈Sultan Park: Built on the southern side of the site of the 16th-century Maldivian palace, the park still stands with a part of the Sultan's Palace. It's just this one spot! Old Mosque (Hukuru Miskiiy): Constructed in 1658, it is the oldest building currently in Malé. 🖼️National Museum: The National Museum houses a collection of historical artifacts, from the Stone Age to the Buddhist era and the period of Islamic monarch rule, including royal artifact fragments. You can even find porcelain sent by Zheng He during his voyages to the Western Seas. 🐟Fish Market: The fish market is a very down-to-earth attraction. Local fishermen bring their daily catch here to sell. If you want to understand local life or buy fresh seafood, don't miss it. #Sultan Park#Malé#Maldives #MaldivesTravelGuide #Malé #MaléInternationalAirport#trip diary#travel guide#Maldives trip #Maldives guide
