What are the major landmarks in Male?
- The Male Friday Mosque was first established in 1153 when the island nation converted to Islam. The first Muslim Sultan of the Maldives ordered the construction of the mosque. By the mid 17th century, the population of the island had increased to a couple of thousands making the old mosque too small for the community's use. The new building of the mosque was constructed on the same location, salvaging the relics and woodwork form the old structure. The new building was built from coral stone, which is abundantly available and easy to work with when it is wet, but becomes hard as stone when dry. The woodwork, carvings and stone masonry are beautiful representations of sea culture of the Maldives. Visit the Male Friday Mosque and introduce yourself to the ancient spirit of Male .
- The National Museum of the Maldives is a site where the country keeps historical artefacts. There was a time when the Maldives was enlightened by Buddhism, as can be seen in the displays at this museum. The museum exhibits also showcase the Muslim sultans of the Maldives, their crown jewels and weaponry. There are a few busts of Buddha as well that were excavated from the northern atolls of the country. Much of the collections of the museum are wooden engraving and crafts that are almost 700 years old.
- Male Fish Market is an exciting place to be. Male is on an atoll that is part of a larger archipelago.

All of the fish caught around Male is brought in at the fish market, where the butchers begin to dissect the catch and buyers demand for the best cuts for cheaper rates. The Male fish market is kept squeaky clean and is washed and disinfected every day before business hours.
