"Local customs" Top 5 Page for this destination Male Island Local Custom Tip by MikeAtSea

The Maldives are a muslim country. Top less bathing, eating during Ramadan and saying anything against the Islam will not go down well with the local population. My first travel rule, where ever I visit is to treat the locals with respect and you will gain hospitality, helpfulness and friendliness. Simply ask first if you are not certain in what to do and you will find that people will assist and help.
