Tell about Maldives ?

You can swim with whale sharks here! You can see them all year round and although there’s never any guarantee, the best time of the year to do so is around June to September.

Alcohol is Available Only in Resorts and Hotels
Maldives is an Islamic country, the visiting tourists are also expected to follow as well as respect their traditions while visiting it. Alcohol can be consumed only in hotels and resorts as it is prohibited everywhere else. Taking it away from the premises of the resort is also not allowed.

Speaking of which, this is also the best time of the year to see the Manta Rays too

) A visit to the Maldives can also be tied in with a visit to India or Sri Lanka.

Importing alcohol, pork as well as pork products is illegal as per Muslim beliefs. In The Ramadan month, even tourists are expected to stick to Muslim customs, such as shunning drinking, smoking and eating during the day hours. Some restaurants that are away from main roads may serve the tourists.

It’s not essential of course but its close enough and cheap enough that you might as well pop in to visit these countries, especially if you’re home country is fairly far away.

Though there is no public reverence for other faiths but the tourists can follow their beliefs in private. Nudity and topless sunbathing is not allowed in Maldives, even if you are on the private beach of your resort.

The weather is pretty consistently good all year round. It is a tad rainier in certain months but the rain doesn’t always last that long and will leave you with lots of sunshine to enjoy your day.

Though there is no public reverence for other faiths but the tourists can follow their beliefs in private. Nudity and topless sunbathing is not allowed in Maldives, even if you are on the private beach of your resort.

The peak periods (and hence, the most experience) to visit are December to April. If you’re looking to bag yourself a bargain, try to visit outside of these months.

One of the best ways to snorkel here is with a guide for your initial snorkel session so do try to find out if your resort has guided snorkels before you visit.

World’s Smallest Muslim Country
Maldives is not only the smallest country in Asia but it also the world’s smallest Muslim country that is popular for its religious intolerance. Written in the year 1997, The Maldives Constitution states that that its citizens must be Muslim, particularly and clearly forbidding following of any other religion.

After you arrive at the airport, you’ll still need to get on a boat or sea plane to get anywhere else.

The Maldives is for much more than just honeymooners. It’s great for all sorts of holiday makers (families, adventure seekers…etc) so don’t let its romantic appeal put you off visiting.

One of the Safest Holiday Destinations in the World
Maldives is popular for being one of the safest holiday destinations in the world. Even the very isolated resorts are extremely safe.

Another great way to save money is to go half-board and not full board. If you do breakfast just right (i.e. not at the crack of dawn), you’ll find that you’re never hungry enough to have a meal at lunch-time

In Maldives, Friday and Saturday mean Weekend unlike any other Nation
While in most of the countries on the globe, weekend means Saturday and Sunday, it is not so in Maldives. Weekend here is Friday and Saturday.

(We all used to have breakfast at around 10am – 11am and so when lunch time rolled on by at 1pm, it was far too early to eat again. You would not be begrudged a light pre-dinner snack though.)

The alcohol at the resorts is not quite as expensive as you’d think (if you don’t got all inclusive

Literacy in Maldivian Adults is 98 Percent
Maldives is one country that can brag about having 98 percent literacy among its adults. This comes as a matter of pride as in the year 1978, it was just 70 percent.

Around 200 islands on Maldives are inhabited, thus making one education program was a difficult thing for the government. It is believed that 35 percent of Maldives residents are under the age of 18 years and thus education plays an important role in being successful in the future

UNICEF helped Maldives in the making a unified education over the year from 1978. Teacher Resource Centers have been constructed that made use of modern technology, specifically internet for the purpose of long-distance teaching among the different island.

A stay in a water villa is a must. Even if it’s just got one night, its definitely a Maldivian experience worth having (and worth splashing out for).

Maldives, in full Republic of Maldives, also called Maldive Islands, independent island country in the north-central Indian Ocean. It consists of a chain of about 1,200 small coral islands and sandbanks (some 200 of which are inhabited), grouped in clusters, or atolls.

This also helped in the creation of an education program that promoted education for not only children but also for caregivers as well as parents who play an important role in a child’s life.
