The Maldives is a tropical country in the Indian Ocean made up of 26 ring-shaped atolls comprising more than 1,000 coral islands. They are renowned for their beaches, blue lagoons and vast reefs. Male, the capital, is home to a busy fish market, restaurants and shops on the main road, Majeedhee Magu, as well as the 17th century Hukuru Miskiy Mosque (also known as the Friday Mosque) in white coral carved.
Religion:
Islam is the state religion of the Maldives Islands. Due to their isolation from the historic centers of Islam in Asia and the Middle East, however, pre-Islamic beliefs have persisted. Clarence Maloney, anthropologist, studied the Maldives in the 1970s
