My 1st Day Exploring The REAL Maldives 🇲🇻 (Malé, Maldives)

Today is my 1st day in Malé, Maldives. This city is often overlooked by tourist who come to visit the Maldives. But I think that Malé is definitely worth exploring. It's the capital of the Maldives and one of the most densely populated city in the world. It's a small island that over 200.000 people call home. That's about half of the population of the Maldives. When traveling to the Maldives, I think you should not skip Malé. But let's explore the city and get first impressions of the Maldives and of Malé. Join me.

the information about one of the most tragic events in the history of maldives ( tsunami 2004 ) was well mentioned and overall the video is great ❤️

[pg.travels]

Anyone skipping Male and just heading to resorts are really missing out. It is a nice city, really unique and there are some other local islands that you can get to for next to nothing that are nice to visit too. I look forwards to coming again...
Keep the videos coming!!

Hi Ken, thank you for visiting the Maldives and creating these videos! I really enjoyed this one—it’s one of the best I’ve seen, capturing the city's sights, food, and vibrant energy. I hope it inspires more tourists to visit the capital! Thanks again!

Great vid Ken. Thanks. You've totally changed my impression of Male. I'd heard terrible reports. I could easily spend a week there doing exactly what you did today. Thanks again☺☺🙏🙏☺☺
