The Tropical Island Paradise of Maldives
The word Maldives conjures in your mind miles of glittering, white-sand beaches, an unending crystal-clear blue waters and cross-cultural foods and drinks. This tropical island paradise is a place that dreams are made of. It consists of about 1,190 coral islands, representing heaven on earth to snorkelers and scuba divers who want to explore and appreciate the wonders of underwater.
Predominantly Muslim, the people of Maldives hold sacred the Islam values. It is therefore a wise move on your part to familiarize yourself with the practice and beliefs in these islands, along with the proper etiquette before you board your plane to Maldives. For example, the proper dress code for touring the island is shirts and long pants. Furthermore, drinking alcohol is being frowned at Maldives.
Additionally, television broadcasts are stopped five times daily to give way for Muslims to pray. And bringing in other religious symbols in the country is strictly prohibited. Rice and fish are the common foods in Maldives. Only tourist resorts serve alcoholic beverages and cross-cultural food.
Things to See and Do in Maldives
Diving is the topmost activity that many travelers want to do in Maldives. The islands are teeming with sea life and surrounded by clear blue water that it is like looking at a life-size aquarium. Popular diving and snorkeling sites are Nassimo Thila, Okobe Thila, Girifishi Thila and Middle Point.
The capital of Male is the site of a plethora of attractions, such as the 17-century mosque of Huskuru Miskiiy, the National Museum and the 1906-palace of Mulee-Aage. Maldives is also a shopper’s paradise. Electronics, jewelry, watches, cosmetics are some luxury items that anyone could buy in Maldives. The shops at Chaandhanee Magu are famous for their imports from Singapore.
After feasting your eyes in myriad of luxury items, head off to a nearby fish market where you could find a feast for your stomach. Just do not forget to save all the receipts of the items that you bought because filled-out U.S. custom forms are required before you can re-enter the American soil from Maldives.
For a nightcap, visit the numerous bars in resorts. However, alcohol is not served at Male. And since the locals are devout Muslims, they also do not drink alcohol. Public drinking of alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited during the Ramadan celebration. Tipping is not a common practice in these islands.
