The city is the capital of the Republic of Maldives, as well as the most densely populated island in the country. Even after its area was increased by artificial expansion, the population density here is 18 thousand people per sq km.

The city is not large: located on two islands of the Maldivian archipelago, it occupies only 5.798 sq km, so there are none of the large roads common around the world here — the main means of transport remain the bicycle and the scooter. In Sanskrit, the capital's name means “majestic” — the island was previously the residence of the local monarch, which had defensive walls that were destroyed in the middle of the last century. Since 2011, the preaching of all religions except Islam has been prohibited in the Maldives. The majority of the islands' residents are Sunnis.

In the capital of the Republic of Maldives and near it, the following places are the most popular:

The National Museum — a modern building where objects of island life and exhibits of the local flora and fauna are displayed in a small area;
The Friday Mosque — a 17th-century temple, many elements of which are made of coral stone;
Villingili — an 800 m long island near the capital, a center for diving and surfing;
The Islamic Center — located opposite the Presidential Palace, near the city's main pier, this architectural complex includes one of the largest mosques in South Asia, with a capacity of 5,000 people.

The portal offers flight tickets, train tickets, and travel insurance policies. The service works with airlines around the world, updating flight information around the clock. Free yourself from unnecessary worries about searching for tickets with the “Freedom Travel” service.
