It is not difficult to find your way around Male’, especially if you
carry a map with you. After all it is only two square kilometers. The main street
Majeedhee Magu, runs right across the island from east to west. Chaandhanee
Magu on the other hand runs from north to south. Most souvenir shops line the
northern end of Chaandanee Magu, earlier known as the Singapore Bazaar for its
many imports from Singapore. Guides and vendors speaking in English and other
foreign languages patiently wait to serve the visitors. These shops are stocked
with an ample supply of gifts and souvenir items. Best buys include the ‘thudu
kuna’ the Maldivian mat woven with local natural fibers. Attractive too
are the wooden miniature ‘dhonis’. When shopping for souvenirs,
do keep in mind that export of products made of turtle shell, black coral, pearl
oyster shell and red coral is prohibited. |
