Best things to do in Male

Malé Must-Sees

Malé's compact capital features the 1984 Grand Friday Mosque with its prominent golden dome and the 1906 colonial-style Mulee Aage Palace. The National Museum, established in 1952, houses royal artifacts and historical relics from the pre-Islamic and Islamic eras. Visitors can observe daily commerce at the bustling fish and local produce markets or explore the artificial beaches on the eastern and western coasts. For marine views without diving, a passenger submarine offers excursions to nearby coral reefs.
