The Maldives is a small country in South Asia, located in the Arabian Sea of the Indian Ocean. It lies southwest of Sri Lanka and India, about 1,000 kilometres from the Asian continent. The chain of 26 atolls stretches from Ihavandhippolhu Atoll in the north to Addu Atoll in the south. Comprising a territory spanning roughly 298 square kilometres with around 427,756 inhabitants. Malé is the capital and the most populated city.

The Maldives archipelago has an average ground-level elevation of 1.5 metres above sea level, it is the world's lowest country, with even its highest natural point being one of the lowest in the world, at 5.1 metres . Due to the consequent risks posed by rising sea levels, the government pledged in 2009 to make the Maldives a carbon-neutral country by 2019.

Islam was introduced to the Maldivian archipelago in the 12th century, developing strong commercial and cultural ties with Asia and Africa. From the mid-16th-century, the region came under the increasing influence of European colonial powers, with the Maldives becoming a British protectorate in 1887. Independence from the United Kingdom was granted in 1965 and a presidential republic was established in 1968.

The Maldives is also a member of the United Nations. Fishing has historically been the dominant economic activity, and remains the largest sector by far, followed by the rapidly growing tourism industry. Maldives is rated "high" on the Human Development Index.

The Maldives was a member of the Commonwealth from July 1982 until its withdrawal from the organisation in October 2016.

Hi) thanks for your videos) I'm married, can this be an obsticle to getting a job in Emirates?

[alwaysinsearch]

Which is the best atoll to stay at in november?

[alwaysinsearch]

Are there certain atolls or resorts that one specific race stays at? I don't like staying in resorts where only one nationality stays in.

[dvukovic]

Literaly none of these things apply if you go to a proper resort (which you should do if you choose to go to Maldives).

[Nathalie]

What's the main difference between Maldive and Seychelles please?

[ibrahimluthufee]

You say rufees its like rufiyaa mister

[donatellahokic]

Um bikinis are not allowed? Every video I’ve seen they wear bikinis?

[ibrahimluthufee]

Yeah cause maldives is a Muslim so it will make sense

[cleberceron]

What do you mean "if you don't like Italians choose another destination?" that sounds freaking xenophobic... If you don't like Italians because they are Italians you should re-educate yourself...
