Malé is the capital of the Maldives. It is small and densely populated.
Today, I got a chance to roam around the city and have taken some photos.
Streets
Male has narrow streets, of course, what do we expect from a very small place. Hence, people use motor bikes and you’ll see tons of these bikes parked on the roadside. There are taxis though but sometimes, you’ll get stuck in traffic so bikes are more convenient I suppose.
Ferry Terminal
The only way (so far) to go to the airport from Malé is by ferry. The journey is just about 10mins and the fare is about 10 Rufiyaa.
The China-Maldives friendship bridge is in progress. This bridge will connect Malé and Hulhumale (the island where the airport is).
Where to Eat
For people like me, who are not so adventurous when it comes to food, I would always look for well known food chains wherever I go but no luck for me here in Malé. There are no fast food chains, no famous coffee chains or whatsoever. All local cafes. Though I have my two favorite cafes here, a separate post will be published later on.
Other Random Photos
And this, my friends is the Philippine flag. This is probably the building where our consulate is.
Walking around Malé (even by yourself) is pretty safe. You won’t see police roaming around, which is a sign that there are no threats of pickpockets etc., You will only see some police by the entrance of the government buildings and that’s about it. The place is also really small, you won’t get lost and even if you do, the people are quite friendly so it’s ok to ask for directions.
nice pic of the musical water fountain, Maldivian flag and the police headquarters.
