Small, quaint, and densely settled, Malé (pronounced 'Mar-lay') is not spectacular, but quite unique as a capital city. It's clean and tidy, with mosques, markets, a maze of small streets and a certain charm all its own.

Male’ is the commercial and political hub of the country. It is home to all government ministries and departments, all of the larger private companies, banks, communications and the key institutions and the key institutions that control the nation’s economic and social life. It is here that goods change hands, be it imports of merchandise ranging from building materials to food and clothing or goods for export such as dried or slated fish. Male’s inner harbour is crowded with dhonis and boats of different sizes that form the lifeline between the islands and the nation’s capital.

The island of Malé is about 2km (1.2mi) long and 1km (0.62mi) wide, and packed to the edges with buildings, roads and a few well-used open spaces. The size of the island has been more than doubled through land reclamation projects and nearby islands are used for the airport and other purposes.

Among the city's modest attractions is the National Museum, which houses untidy exhibits of the sultans' belongings and a smattering of Thor Heyerdahl's archaeological discoveries - many of the ancient stone carvings and figurines are featured in his book The Maldive Mystery. Near the museum is the pleasant Sultan Park, and the imposing white Islamic Centre & Grand Friday Mosque which dominates the city's skyline.

Not surprisingly one of the most exciting places to visit while in Male’ is the Fish Market. Located in Boduthakurufaanu Magu right across the waterfront the Fish Market is where all the fish that is landed in Male’ is bought and sold.

All of the main streets of Male’ are lined with shops offering a variety of goods. Among them are many souvenir shops selling some quality local handicrafts and an assortment of Maldivian and imported souvenirs. Also a variety of restaurants serve specialty Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai and Sri Lankan dishes.
