Holidays in the Maldives

Tourist guide to the Maldives

Maldives are a small island nation on the Indian Ocean, historically linked with the nations of India but culturally depending on the nation of Oman since the 17th century. The islands are extremely flat, with the highest natural “hill” being only two meters tall. Their surface area is also very small, making agriculture all but impossible. Quite obviously, the nation has to do with other source of indome – namely tourism. Maldives are nearly an ideal place for tourism, with gorgeous, white beaches, clear blue sea and equally blue sky, tropical reefs shallowly located under the water and rich exotic life both in the ocean and on the islands. Learn about the characteristics of theparadise islands, when it to visit them and what do you need to prepare before arriving (both in terms of currency and baggage and passports or visas!), what is worth seeing and visiting in various destinations (including sights, monuments, national parks, beaches and more), how to travel (with special attention paid to highways and motorways), the prices of various goods and services, accomodation, weather, maps, tourist guides, opinions of visitors and other practical pieces of information!
