Malé

Malé is the capital city of the Maldives. Located in the Indian Ocean, it is a city full of beautiful landscapes. The city streets, rather than being paved with tarmac, are sprinkled with white sand of the beach. This is a rich tropical island surrounded by dazzling white coral reefs. Because the Maldives were previously colonies of England and Portugal, the architectural style here has a strong British flavor. Automobiles are a rare sight in the city. Most people ride bikes, motorcycles or walk. Sultan Park and National Museum are located at the center of the city. There is also a very long seaside avenue, Nirolhu Magu, to stroll along.
